Spain would open the defense of their 2 in a row European Championship by playing a virtual draw against the Czech Republic. I say virtual because the game was tied for the first 96.67% of the time. But it would end 1-0 to La Furia Roja when Gerard Pique (Mr. Shakira) scored in the 87th minute. Remember kids to always work on your headers.
Ireland would follow up by scoring 2 goals and walking out with a 1-1 draw. No, that's not a typo. Wesley Hoolahan would put Ireland up 1-0 in the 48th minute. Keeping Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoreless was all for the good, but then Ciaran Clark would score against his own side leaving the game level to the final whistle.
The nightcap saw a hyped up Belgian side face last tournament's runners-up in Italy. Italy is a country of fashion, and they don't like to get caught wearing the same outfits as their group-mates. Therefore, Emanuele Giaccherini's 32nd minute goal would not do. Scoring 1 goal is for the less Romantically named players of countries not named Italy. So a last minute adjustment by Graziano Pelle would double up the score leaving Italy top of the group.
