Player ratings (?):

The silver-haired shot-stopper who will spring to the minds of football followers around the world when they picture a Greek goalkeeper.

At 36 this is likely to be Nikopolidis' last appearance in the finals of an international tournament, but the veteran - who has made a record number of appearances between the sticks for a Greece - will not be found wanting in the experience stakes.

However, Nikopolidis faces a battle to secure a starting role in this year's finals after being replaced by Konstantinos Chalkias following a run of eight games played and seven goals conceded in qualifying.

But do not be surprised to see the Olympiakos Piraeus man warming up on the touchline if penalties come calling as he possesses a trademark talent for saves from the spot.
