Unless you’ve been living under some weird rock, you know the 2012 European Championship starts today and your DVRs are already set.
Friday opens with Group A contests between Poland & Greece and Russia & Czech Republic. Each of Saturday’s mouth-watering Group B matchups feature a tournament favorite – Netherlands plays Denmark, while Germany takes on Portugal, one of the highest-ranked underdogs in tournament history. More can’t-miss matches of opening week: Spain vs Italy on Sunday, June 10 (11:45a, ESPN), France vs England on Monday, June 11 (11:45a, ESPN) and Netherlands vs Germany on Wednesday, June 13 (2:30p, ESPN).

If that’s not enough to satisfy your soccer thirst, there are some other big games (important, not Euro glamorous) happening this week. On Friday, June 8, the USMNT and Mexico start 2014 World Cup Qualifying with matches against Antigua & Barbuda and Guyana, respectively. But, unfortunately, it looks like (at present) the USMNT World Cup Qualifier against Guatemala on Tuesday, June 12 will only be broadcast on pay-per-view.
Now, log off the computer and go watch the Euro already.
