This just in: UEFA doesn’t look it will revoke the status 10 Things, 101 Soccer Live’s answer to daily European Championships coverage, which maybe was a bit unclear during Saturday’s Group A openers. Oh well, onward and upward with our first edition for today’s Day 2 peek-in (check back later for the wrap-up of the simple 10-point outlook for the morning with no chronological significance):

1. One of these two Group B matches, Germany-Poland or Austria-Croatia, will be more languid than the other, which is really saying something.

2. It’s back to work for Michael Ballack in his reassumption of point-guard duties for the Group’s heavily favored Germans, unless head coach Joachim Low has his chief star play truer to his Chelsea identity by allowing fellow midfielders increased offensive involvement.

3. Jens Lehmann’s international goalkeeping legacy that has been amongst the swirl coming out of German preparations looks comfortably safe for now; it’s just Poland.

4. Not that any action in such a high-magnitude endeavor shouldn’t be taken for granted, but please Group C, don’t be late.

5. Eduardo’s absence leaves the opportunity in the Croatia scheme for an emerging scoring presence up front in the tournament (Mladen Petric comes to mind), although maybe instead its stud midfield will truly get to shine on the largest of stages.

6. Austria’s ability to not to act like an uncontested No. 16 of 16 teams as the host awarded a caveat appearance is seriously in question.

7. Someone on the bench in either game is hoping to make a trend of the goal work done Saturday by Vaclav Sverkos and Raul Meireles in Saturday’s tourney openers.

8. It’s take two for the Andy Gray Show.

9. Give Poland the benefit of the doubt — there are a few things about this team worth being impressed about above the fact that the two EPL keepers on its roster don’t even start.

10. The new ball has quite a test today if it indeed is supposed to bring out the Matt Taylor in anybody and everybody for the next three weeks.
