Poland vs Greece Live Stream Euro 2012 Online - 7 June


In the opening match of the UEFA Euro Championship we will have the hosts Poland taking on Greece side on 8th June at Warsaw stadium and it will surely be one great opening match to look forward too. Greece of course at the 2004 Euro Champions and they will be hoping to get out this tricky group where none of the European Giants have been drawn in.

In the Group A there are 4 teams and on paper they all have equal ability to go through to the next round, with Poland, Russia, Czech Republic and Greece no one can predict the fate of this group and for the Hosts this is the best draw and if they ever had a chance to make it to the Quarterfinals of the big event this is it.

Poland have been playing so well in the last 5 matches and they are up there with the best in terms of form and since they are playing at home, they can put Greece under pressure and get all three points from this game which would open up their chances of qualification. If we look at their form in the last 5 matches they have only drawn 1 game and that was against Portugal while they have won all the 4 other games and only conceded 1 goal in the last 5 matches.

Greece on the other hand are coming into this match on the back of a poor run of results in Internationals, as they could only won 1 game in the last 5 matches and that was against Armenia which was their last International Frienly game.

You can Tune in here to watch the live action of the match here, which full match highlights of the game will be available after the match is over. so please comeback here shortl after the match is over to get the live action.

UEFA warns Poland about hooligan threat



Euro 2012 co-hosts Poland face a “huge image problem” over hooliganism, UEFA has stated.



The criticism, from Martin Kallen, UEFA's director of the EURO 2012 finals Poland will stage with Ukraine in 14 months' time, comes days after the latest hooligan outbreak when Polish fans caused trouble at a friendly with Lithuania in Kaunas on Friday.



Kallen told delegates at the Soccerex European business forum there were now outbreaks of hooliganism at just about every league match in Poland.



More than 60 Polish fans were detained after throwing bottles and flares at police in Lithuania last week.



Police responded by firing tear-gas to control the rioting fans outside the Darius and Girenas stadium in Kaunas before and during the match which Poland lost 2-0.



The Polish government has also announced new legislation to tackle football violence similar to the laws intorduced by Germany for the 2006 World Cup.



Kallen said: “We are concerned but I know the Polish government is also concerned but we are not going to let a minority spoil it for the majority.



“They know they have a huge image problem, there are always hooligans around every match day in the league but the government is making the right steps for the future.



“What we saw at last Friday's match was not a very good picture to see that happening in a stadium. We and the Polish government are concerned, they are taking this seriously and will have changes in the next month.”



Kallen said he was convinced the championship would pass off peacefully and was not too concerned about trouble at the tournament itself as the problem was more linked to club matches.



He added: “For the Euro, different people will be coming to matches—there will be more families. The Euros are a party and in many areas there is more a problem on a daily basis for club matches. But, clearly, we are facing some challenges.



Marcin Herra, head of the Poland 2012 organisers, told delegates there would be “zero tolerance” for hooligans but he was quick to add that the championship would leave a lasting positive legacy for his country and Ukraine.



“We have new legislation which allows us to work much more precisely against those hooligans.



“There will be zero tolerance to make sure that 500 people cannot spoil the event for one million people.”



Kallen added that some infrastructure improvements would not be ready in time for the finals and some motorway construction would not be completed.



“It will not be anything drastic, you might have to take a small detour here and there, but everything else, including all the stadiums, will be ready,” he said.
