(at)PhillipsIan: Greece holding its own vs. Russia at Euro 2012. Last in group, but a win could set up politically-charged quarter final clash with Germany. (via Twitter)

GREECE VS. RUSSIA: Zhirkov nearly breaks the deadlock for Russia. He receives the ball from a short corner and shapes to cross, but instead knocks it past a defender and unleashes a great shot that flies just over.

2118: GREECE VS. RUSSIA: Russia goes close again in Warsaw, where it’s a lovely summer’s evening and the stadium roof is open. Arshavin plays the ball into the center and fellow forward Kerzhakov is waiting to prod home, but the Greek defense clears.

___

2112: Still 0-0 in both matches.

CZECH VS. POLAND: Actually, the weather appears to be getting worse in Wroclaw. There were just rumbles of thunder and flashes of lightning. There’s not going to be another suspension, is there? The players are absolutely soaked!

2105: CZECH VS. POLAND: It’s raining in Wroclaw, but nothing like the downpour we saw in Donetsk on Friday for the France vs. Ukraine match. The Czechs have managed to take the sting out of a bright start from Poland.

GREECE VS. RUSSIA: Russia captain Arshavin tries his luck with a low shot from outside of the penalty area, but drags it wide.
