Who is the Italy player above? I'll tell you who...it's Antonio di Natale and he holds the honour of having scored the only goal Spain have conceded in their last nine games at the Euro's.

It came on 10 June 2012 as Italy held La Rojo to a 1-1 draw.

Spanish football expert Guillem Balague on BBC Radio 5 live: "I have seen the favourite for the tournament and it is not Germany, it is Croatia.

"They were very comfortable with and without ball and they made Turkey look mediocre. I think Croatia could really go far."

As unbeaten runs go at the Euro's, Spain's isn't bad. They hold the record with 12 games without defeat in the competition, which includes nine wins and three draws, and their last defeat in the tournament dates back to June 2004 against Portugal (0-1). Like I said, not bad.

Czech Republic captain Tomas Rosicky believes Spain are the favourites to win the tournament.

Asked whether he would prefer to face David de Gea or Iker Casillas in goal, he told the press:, external "I think that is the least of our problems."

Spanish football expert Guillem Balague on BBC Radio 5 live: "It was always going to be the case that David de Gea would start.

"Del Bosque had to check his mental state, see if the accusations had affected him, but De Gea has milk in his veins, it has not affected him.

"His family says he has done exactly what he normally does. De Gea explained it was all false and that is where Bel Bosque has left it, with a football decision."

Petr Cech is top class. He will give security behind the defence.

I think with all the attacking players Spain have, the Czechs will struggle to contain Spain but he will definitely organise the defence, it will be by and large guided by him.

The Czech Republic have won seven of their last 10 games in the group stage of European Championship finals.

In Petr Cech, Tomas Rosicky and Jaroslav Plasil, Czech Republic boast three players with over 100 international caps, so they have plenty of know how for this one.

There will be a lot of focus on Tomas Necid up top, hie's a 6ft 3in target man who will have to be at his best to trouble Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique.

On to the serious stuff.

Spain turned up at this tournament without Pablo Alcacer who top scored for them in qualifying with five goals.

Faith is put in Nolito who has just nine caps, some way off David Silva who earns his 100th today.

The midfield three have seen it all before, the defence is built around two central defenders who have won all the game has to offer. So the focus is surely on the front three? Can they do the business?

There's only one place to start with this one.

Did you know Czech Republic is home to more than 2,000 castles or ruins?

All that wonderful history and home to a player like Karel Poborsky. Talk about a must-see place.

Right then, we are switching our focus to Toulouse now where the defending champions are going to show us that defeat to Georgia six days ago was no big deal.

After admitting he would like to kill some of his players after their recent friendly defeat by Belarus, how much would Roy Keane like to be involved in this group?

An opportunity to square up to Zlatan, take on a team without Andrea Pirlo and berate Eden Hazard for going over a bit too easily.

Unfortunately, assistant boss Roy will just have to be Keane from the bench.

First up for the Republic is Sweden, or should we say Zlatan et al? I'm not one to go along with this one-man team malarkey, Ibrahimovic doesn't do much defending, after all.

But the 34-year-old scored 11 times in Euro 2016 qualifying, including three in their play-off victory over Denmark, and he knows France quite well after his previous five years at Paris St Germain. 

"The legend can still deliver," he said modestly before the game.

The Independent's Mark Ogden is in Paris where Sweden and Ireland are teaming up to make bars look like an official Norwich City supporters' club.

One stat of hope for Ireland is that Sweden conceded 12 goals in qualifying. The only side at Euro 2016 to have leaked more are Czech Republic with 14. Spain... fill your boots.

So we are asking you who you think will be the big side to exit early at Euro 2016 and it seems a lot of you are not keen on Belgium, Italy or Spain.

Hashim Vali: I reckon Spain will struggle. No Costa and Aduriz up front seems slightly weak to me.

Joseph Williams: My vote goes for Spain. Glory days long gone for half the squad...the other half are short of experience with the national team

Kyle: The big team I expect to depart early is Italy. The last 16 at best and they have a average squad.

BBC Sport editor Dan Roan on BBC Radio 5 live: "The threat to England (being expelled from Euro 2016) is very real, it is not just words. 

"England have been here before and there is a very real prospect of this happening should there be a repeat so there is lots at stake here."

England manager Roy Hodgson has appealed for fans to behave. You can watch his appeal by clicking here.

Martin O'Neill can rest easy in that his squad boasts experience aplenty coming into this European Championships.

I make it 977 caps in their 23-man squad.

The big question is what role will Robbie Keane play? The LA Galaxy man boasts 143 caps and 67 Ireland goals but has been battling a calf injury. Even if he's fit there's a case Keane may not play as Shane Long is in decent form and could lead the line.

BBC Radio 5 Live

There will be no Jens Lehmann or Conor McNamara today but the commentary line-up on BBC Radio 5 live is as follows:

14:00 Spain v Czech Republic: Alistair Bruce-Ball and Robbie Savage.

17:00 Republic of Ireland v Sweden: Alan Green and Chris Waddle.

20:00 Belgium v Italy: John Murray and Jermaine Jenas.

A reminder that the last two games are also televised on BBC One.

BBC Sport editor Dan Roan is across the violent stories on the ground in France...

The back pages of the British press today really focus on the threat to England and Russia from Uefa.

More violence could see the countries removed from the tournament. If you are just joining us, England boss Roy Hodgson and captain Wayne Rooney have issued an appeal to fans.
