Euro 2012 round two action concludes on Tuesday Evening from the Stadion Narodowy, Warszawa, featuring Poland versus Russia.
The whole game is being shown Live on ITV 1 High Definition, with a scheduled 19:45pm (BST) Kick Off Time.
Poland escaped with a draw from the first game having dominated the first half, where with better finishing from the chances they created could of sealed the all important victory.
However, their second half performance was terrible and as soon as Greece grabbed a well deserved equaliser all belief from the Polish players seemed to disappear and if it weren’t for a fantastic penalty save by substitute goal keeper Przemysław Tytoń, Poland could of been facing elimination from this tournament.
Russia caught many people’s attention in their opening game against Czech Republic where a brilliant creative display by Arshavin carved open the Czech Republic defence time and time again and but for poor finishing by his Zenit team mate Kerzhakov, Russia could of won this game by a lot more than the score line suggested.
