EURO 2008

The 2008 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2008, will take place in Austria and Switzerland from 7 June to 29 June 2008. It is the second successful joint bid in the competition's history, following the UEFA Euro 2000 hosted by Belgium and the Netherlands. The 2012 competition in Poland and Ukraine is scheduled to become the third jointly-hosted tournament.

A total of 16 teams will participate in the tournament. Austria and Switzerland automatically qualified as hosts; the remaining 14 teams have been determined through qualifying matches which started in August 2006. Austria and Poland will be making their first appearance in the tournament. The winner of Euro 2008 will represent UEFA at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa, unless Italy wins the tournament, in which case the runner-up will be entered, as Italy is already entered as the winner of the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

DAY 12 - June 18th 2008

BBC - MATCH OF THE DAY

Adrian Chiles along with Alan Shearer and Gavin Peacock, present highlights and reaction from Group D, where Greece are in action against Spain and outsiders Russia face Sweden. Much of the victorious Greek side from four years ago are still involved with their current squad, while none of Spain's squad were born the last time a Spanish team was crowned European champions in 1964. Spain, however, have only ever lost once in nine previous meetings with Greece, that defeat coming in a qualifying match in the build-up to Euro 2004.
