Stadion Miejski — Wrocław
June 8, 2012 2:45 PM EDT
Referee: H. Webb
The second match of the first day of European Championship is also from the Group “A” and also will be played in Poland, but in Wroclaw. According to most of the announcements, in this meeting the favourite is even more pronounced, although it is interesting that the bookies do not really think so.
Russia at this championship came with great expectations, especially after finding out opponents in the group, while the Czech Republic is one of the biggest outsider in this championship.
Way through the qualification reveals that the Russians were first in their group, and the Czechs with a lot of luck reach the second place and so fought their way on the Euro 2012,through the barrage of placement. Friendly matches ahead of Euro, especially those last, also show who is in better shape.
So far, they met only once and again at the European Championships in England in 1996 and then in the “crazy” match was 3-3. However, it was another Czech, then the championship finalists
