Euro 2012 Day 1: Poland-Greece, Russia-Czech Rep.

BBC Clarence Seedorf, David James, Niall Quinn, Jürgen Klinsmann and Robbie Savage will bring their extensiveexperience of majorinternational competition (not Savage) to Salford, where they will join the Match of the Day regulars. Harry Redknapp may turn up too, but isn't sure, and won't talk about the England team even if he does.

ITV Gareth Southgate, Roy Keane, Jamie Carragher, Roberto Martínez and Patrick Vieira will join Adrian Chiles in Warsaw, a much-changed line-up from four years ago when Sam Allardyce, Gary Neville and Boudweijn Zenden were all involved.

If I could pick and mix, i'd have Keane and Savage. The gifs of Keane's face

Thank £#%&! Gabby Logan warned us that we might see the England players wearing trainers later.

Is there a more cliche ridden @#%&! in the game than Robbie Keane?

ITV Two years ago, before they knew where England would play or even if they would qualify, ITV committed to building a studio in Warsaw. They appointed a local architect and launched themselves into "a bureaucratic journey deep into the heart of Polish politics". It was handsomely rewarded for its bravery when the draw guaranteed England could not possibly play there more than once, and even then not until the semi-finals, which will be broadcast by the BBC anyway.

From that same page:

BBC Guy Mowbray, Steve Wilson, Jonathan Pearce and Simon Brotherton will work the mic, sitting alongside a group of analysts apparently selected entirely because their first name starts with the letter M: Mark Lawrenson, Martin Keown, Mick McCarthy and Mark Bright.

ITV Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend will cover England's games and the best action from Ukraine, while Peter Drury and Jim Beglin will watch Ireland and the cream from Poland. Jon Champion and Craig Burley have arrived on loan from ESPN to mop up.

Jon Champion and Craig Burley?! What the £#%&!? To mop up what? The toilets? Those two are the worst two @#%&!s ever to commentate on any sport, ever. I £#%&!ing hate that toothless porridge eating @#%&! Burley.

Hate the bastards. Promised me money for a documentary on the Milk Cup and then months down the line they remembered they don't have any £#%&!ing money. £#%&!ers.

Great start by Poland, I like the way they play and the system they use. Committing a lot of men forward and press high up the pitch. Risky strategy but great to see.

Greece are poor, though
