… but before kick-off, there’s a minute of silence to be perfectly observed. Both teams huddle. Then the warmest round of applause. Oh Diogo. Oh André. Our hearts break for you. xx

The teams are out. Germany in white shirts and black shorts, Poland decked out from head to toe in red. We’ll be off once coins have been tossed, fists bumped, and pennants exchanged.

A major tournament simply isn’t a major tournament without a wallchart. Don’t worry if you haven’t been able to source one, because our resident artistic genius David Squires has been to work and has your back. You know the pack drill: Print it out! Pin it up! Fill it in! Make a series of primary-school-level errors while filling out at least one of the final tables!

The opening match of Euro 2025 also kicked off proceedings in Group A. Finland shocked ten-woman Iceland thanks to Katariina Kosola’s second-half strike; Barry Glendenning was all over that, in the modern, fashionable, minute-by-minute style. As a result of that game in Thun, this is how the table looks before tonight’s match in Basel.

1. Finland P1 W1 D0 L0 F1 A0 Pts 3
2. Norway P0 W0 D0 L0 F0 A0 Pts 0
3. Switzerland P0 W0 D0 L0 F0 A0 Pts 0

7 min: Darmian comes through the back of Cano, and is fortunate not to go into the book. Inter have already committed a couple of fouls, so their next miscreant might not be so fortunate.

5 min: Inter try to reply immediately, Darmian making good down the right. But his cross is no use. What a start by Flu, though; the Brazilians, well, flew out of the traps and got right up in Inter’s collective grille. They got their reward.

2 min: … so Benfica slow it down with a bit of passing around at the back.

43 seconds: Chelsea are immediately on the front foot, Neto chasing after a long pass down the right. He makes it all the way into the box, and whips a shot towards the bottom right. Trubin parries and claims, albeit in a slightly clumsy style. There’s an early statement, then.
