Greece Vs. Czech Republic, Euro 2012: Lineups

The Czech Republic could be eliminated from Group A of Euro 2012 by the end of this match. That's not how it's supposed to go, of course - they might have been hammered by Russia but should still have the quality to beat Greece - but their opponents have been tearing up the narrative by being really really pants at defending and looking quite neat on the attack. Both teams have made changes, with Greece having to reshuffle their centre back pairing and accommodate Dimitris Salpingidis up front, while the Czechs have dropped Jan Rezek and Roman Hubnik to the bench.

Greece (4-3-3): Kostas Chalkias; Jose Holebas, Kyriakos Papadopoulos, Kostas Katsouranis, Vasilis Torosidis; Giorgos Karagounis, Giannis Maniatis, Giorgos Fotakis; Georgios Samaras, Konstantinos Fortounis, Dimitris Salpingidis.

Czech Republic (4-2-3-1): Petr Cech; David Limbersky, Michal Kadlac, Tomas Sivok, Theodor Gebre Selassie; Jaroslav Plasil, Tomas Hubschman; Vaclav Pilar, Tomas Rosicky, Petr Jiracek; Milan Baros.
