I'll give you one clue.

Their name begins with S and ends with lovakia.

You got it, Slovakia.

And they did it three times. Marek Hamsik, Michal Duris and Juraj Kucka all found the net in a 3-1 friendly win in May.

Germany, whose goal came from a Mario Gomez penalty, had a slightly experimental side.

It was an odd game all round, with proceedings halted for 40 minutes in Augsburg because of torrential rain.

The White Stripes' Seven Nation Army is booming out at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

You know the words, right? If not, let me help you out.

Duhhh, duh duh duh duhhhh, duhhhh.

Duhhh, duh duh duh duhhhh, duhhhh.  

Duhhh, duh duh duh duhhhh, duhhhh.  

Etc etc.

How hard? 

Ger-hard.

You can stick one Germany international into this current squad - who will it be?

Johnny Magrinho: Gerhard Muller. I do not need to explain that choice whatsoever. One of the greatest. Ever.

Andrew Priestley: If you were to transport Gerd Muller into this current German team we might as well hand over the trophy and go home! 

David McCrone: Muller up front, Mattheus in midfield, Sammer in defence

One, David. You get one pick!

Anyway, speaking of Jurgen Klinsmann...

There's extra incentive for Mario Gomez and, if he gets on, Lukas Podolski to find the net today.

A goal for either man would pull them level with Klinsmamm as Germany's top scorer at European Championships.

Slovakia right-back Peter Pekarik is warming up with a rather snazzy blue protective thingy over his nose.

He took a blow to the schnoz in the England game. He was still up for pre-match media duties though - you can see the black eye he got.

You can put one Germany international from the good old days into this side - who would it be?

Christy Richmond: I would fire Klinsmann or Bierhoff into that squad. Stick Lahm back in the squad - captain fantastic

That's three, Christy, but I'm feeling generous.

Rhys Hopkins: Bierhoff. That man would thrive in this team! Bring back Bierhoff. Bring back golden goal.

Bobbler: Klinsmann. Germany are crying out for a top goalscoring striker

Match of the Day's Steve Wilson is showering us with factamundos today.

Germany had 26 shots, nine on target in their 1-0 win over Northern Ireland and allowed the opposition two shots, one on target.

Slovakia had four shots, two on target, in their 0-0 draw with England and allowed the opposition 28 shots, five on target.

That might give you a clue as to how today's game might pan out...

You can put one former Germany international into the current side - go!

Use #bbceuro2016

Devil Cyborg: I think Germany need a striking force. Not Gomez or Gotze. They need Miroslav Klose from back in the day

Richard Browne: Given the current side's weakness at full-back, Paul Breitner's your man

Thomas Jackson: Bierhoff without a doubt. Goalscoring machine

We may be one game down already today, but you can still get involved and try to predict the results of the rest of the matches. Points are awarded for guessing the correct result and score at 90 minutes, so if you think it will go to extra time or penalties, you need to be predicting a draw.

Slovakia may have shown they can parallel park a bus in front of the goal as well as the driver of the number 245 from Bratislava to Malacky, but they can stick it into third gear when they want to.

The Slovaks came alive, in fits and spurts, in their 2-1 group win over Russia.

Vladimir Weiss, the left winger, and playmaker Marek Hamsik stood out that day - and got a goal each.

Napoli's Hamsik is very much the dangerman.

Fans are starting to fill the seats in Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

What's the flag this fella is wearing around his neck? I feel like I remember it from somewhere...

I josh, but Germany's shortcomings, if indeed we can call them that, have been common among the bigger sides at this tournament.

The puzzle? How to break down less talented, but organised, fit and committed sides.

The answer? A bit of magic.

Germany looked decent in their 2-0 win over Ukraine to start their campaign, but were frustrated in a 0-0 draw by quarter-finalists Poland and could only muster the one goal in a narrow win over Northern Ireland.

Slovakia showed in a 0-0 draw with England that they can contain. Can Germany break them?

Germany were my pick for Euro 2016 winners before the tournament, and I'm not a man to waver from predictions, no matter how stupendously wrong I might be.

But it got me thinking about which Germany internationals from yesteryear I'd stick into this current side.

After considering it for 17 seconds, I went for Oliver Bierhoff. A big man for a big occasion. The Germans could mix it up a bit.

Use #bbceuro2016 to suggest which former Germany player would complete this team.

Curiously, Slovakia make four changes from their 0-0 draw against England. Did they take it easy on Roy Hodgson's side?

Robert Mak had an injury in the week, but also Ondrej Duda, Tomas Hubocan and Viktor Pecovsky are left out.

In come Norbert Gyomber, Patrik Hrosovsky, Milan Skriniar and Michal Duris.

Slovakia: Kozacik, Pekarík, Skrtel, Durica, Gyomber, Weiss, Hrosovsky, Skriniar, Hamsik, Kucka, Duris

The headline team news is that Germany have dropped Mario Gotze, with Julian Draxler coming in.

Otherwise it's the same side that beat Northern Ireland 1-0.

Germany: Neuer, Hector, Hummels, Khedira, Ozil, Draxler, Muller, Boateng, Kroos, Kimmich, Gomez
