PORTUGAL V GREECE
June 12, 9-30 p.m.
More than the tournament opener, it could provide first upset: nervous hosts beaten by team who won in Spain during qualifying tournament

FRANCE V ENGLAND
June 14, 12-15 a.m.
The Big One. Premiership clubmates fight for national pride. Watch Vieira take on Lampard, Campbell tackle Henry. Must-watch

GERMANY V HOLLAND
June 16, 12-15 a.m.
Sparks fly whenever they meet and this time should be no different. Dutch have new tactics and talented youngsters, Germans the 2002 WC final

ITALY V SWEDEN
June 19, 12-15 a.m.
Italy are at their strongest in the past decade and desperate to make up for 2002. Sweden have an exciting forward line to test the Azurri defence

SPAIN V PORTUGAL
June 21, 12-15 a.m.
Iberian clash will probably decide which team wins tops group. More than that, they will be playing for local pride. Keep the tapas at hand
