Co-host Poland has no injury concerns heading into its group opener against the surprise winners from eight years ago, and Franciszek Smuda is expected to name the same starting XI that has featured in Poland's last two friendly encounters.

This means Borussia Dortmund trio Lukasz Piszczek, Jakob Blaszczykowski and Robert Lewandowski will all be included from the off, while Rafal Murawski and Eugen Polanski will occupy the central midfield spots as the White Eagles look to kick off their tournament with intent.
Greece can also boast a full bill of health going into the tournament, and is expected to lineup in a 4-3-3 formation versus the host. Vasilis Torosidis appeared a doubt when he picked up a knee injury in a friendly against Slovenia last week, but the right back has shrugged off the knock to take part in recent training sessions.

Sotiris Ninis has also been struggling with a knock, though the 21-year-old has been declared fit and is available for selection. The Panathinaikos attacker is likely to start the game from the bench, with Dimitris Salpingidis set to be favored on the right side of a three-prong strikeforce.

Match

19'And the man who was credited with carrying an entire nation's hopes on his shoulders has delivered a goal within 20 minutes of the first match. Lewandowski take a bowski.

18'A superb cross it may have been but Chalkias went walkabout chasing it when he should have stayed put. Lewandowski was all on his own to plant his header into the corner of the net.

17'We're off and running and the National Stadium goes crackers! An easy header for the striker after a brilliant cross from Blaszczykowski.

17'GOAL Lewandowski!

16'A poor clearance from Papadopoulos presents Lewandowski with a chance to shoot on the turn but he skews his effort wide.

15'Obrianak is down after being clattered by Papastathopoulos.

14'A big chance for Poland as Piszczek plays a nice one-two on the right and gets into the box - he has two targets but leathers the ball across the face, meaning Lewandowski hasn't a hope of turning it home.

13'Greece not looking as tight defensively as we are used to, but that clean sheet is still in tact.

12'More neat build-up play from Poland as Lewandowski pulls wide and crosses for Blaszczykowski but he blazes over. And yes, I did spell that last name all by myself (this may not be true).

11'Karagounis delivers and Gekas gets a flick header on goal but Szczesny gleefully watches his effort fly four yards wide.

10'Gekas draws a foul from Polanski. He's a big lad to deal with. More set piece potential for Greece.

9'The game settling into a familiar pattern when Greece are involved. They sit deep and try to break while their opponents press.

8'An aimless punt from Samaras to no-one in particular. Just as I remember him from his Manchester City days.

7'Lewandowski and Piszczek looking very lively already for the home side.

6'Gekas is flagged offside as Greece try to hit back. Fair to say the game has come to life. Polish fans very excited by that attacking flurry.

5'Two big chances for Poland as Piszczek crosses but Lewandowski's shot is blocked, then Murawski's shot from the edge of the box is tipped over by Chalkias.

4'Lewandowski clears before Rybus tries to cross for Poland on the left flank. Then goalkeeper Chalkias claims a flick into the six-yard box by Poland's premier striker.

3'Another free kick for Greece, Polanski the eager beaver this time. A chance to load the box.

2'A superb atmosphere inside the stadium, and a chorus of boos greet Greece's early spell of possession. Then Lewandowski fouls Papastathopoulos.

1'We're off!

43'

Great scrapping from Samaras as he dives into two challenges. Before that Blaszczykowski rather bottled a challenge with Papastathopoulos, who was almost the last man.

42'

Bit better from Greece as Ninis delivers a corner then two crosses in quick succession. Poland standing firm though.

41'

Poland coach Franciszek Smuda yesterday: "Greece are perfect in defence. It will be a great challenge to get through them." Not so far, chief.

40'

Ninis takes towards the near post but Polanski gets there before Gekas can nod on goal. The second is punched clear by Szczesny.

39'

They have won a corner though - their first of the encounter.

38'

It is not going to plan for Greece so far. Porous at the back, toothless up front and already forced into a substitution.

37'

Then from the free kick, Poland have wasted a glorious opening to make it 2-0. The ball squirts loose to Perquis, who fires wide from 14 yards out. Great chance.

36'

One Papadopoulos for another as Greece are forced into a change. Kyriakos replacing Avraam .

35'

Papastathopoulos is given a very harsh booking, maybe for a stray arm as he challenged for a ball in the air. He's dumbfounded.

34'

Poor delivery again. Not up to scratch when it forms such an important part of a team's attacking portfolio.

33'

Karagounis is not a happy bunny as he is felled by a combo of Murawski and Obrianak. Another Greek free kick.

32'

A poor ball from Polanski as Lewandowski had pulled off his man.

30'

All in all, a pretty bloomin' good opening half hour for the Euro 2012 co-hosts.

29'

Greece need to show far more in an attacking sense because they look all over the Polish deli at the back.

28'

Greece try to take it quickly but as they pulled it square the shot was blocked. The second delivery from Ninis is cleared as well.

27'

Ninis beats Boenisch and draws a foul from behind right on the edge of the penalty area out to the right. No card when perhaps there might have been. Danger for Poland.

26'

Murawski's free kick is cleared by Holebas but Samaras can't set up a counter.

25'

John Brewin on Twitter: Lewandowski blows the roof off with that strike. What an atmosphere. That header may cost Sir Alex a few more quid...

24'

A great battle between Lewandowski and Torosidis developing. Both end in a heap as Poland win a corner.

23'

Poland have to be careful not to get carried away pushing forward though - they must not let Greece back in the game.

22'

Katsouranis has a pop on goal from 25 yards but it doesn't trouble Szczesny.

22'

Ninis trips Murawski after a frantic chase to close three Polish players down. "Polska, Polska," is the cry from the stands.

20'

So, how will Greece respond? They will have to come out of their shell a little more now or they could find this game out of reach.

Everything is going wrong for Greece both on and off the pitch.

The Greek team saw a black cat (which is a sign of bad luck in Greek culture, although a superstition) in their hotel yesterday and chased it, but guess it is too late.lol

The standard of officiating in this game has been abysmal.......Absolutely shocking.#

This surely can't be the best referee the spanish can offer,can it?

Against the run of play Greece scores a goal mouth scramble.
