Group A
France
The wait is over, and France, who have had two years to fine-tune a formula for their home tournament, will be expected to make a concerted assault on the trophy. On paper, the path to the semifinals should not be too testing; anything less would be a major disappointment.
How they qualified:
Host nation
France qualified automatically as the host nation but, for the first time, were placed as a "ghost" team in one of the groups. This meant they played home and away friendlies against all the sides in Group I. Two wins over Portugal were notable, but a draw and defeat versus Albania blotted the copybook.
How they'll proceed:
The last four should be a given, even with doubts over the availability of star striker Karim Benzema. France will come close to emulating their titles of 1984 and 2000 but will fall just short.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Hugo Lloris; D: Bacary Sagna, Eliaquim Mangala, Laurent Koscielny, Patrice Evra; M: Moussa Sissoko, Paul Pogba, Blaise Matuidi; F: Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud, Anthony Martial.
Key player:
Anthony Martial
There are echoes of 1998, when 20-year-old Thierry Henry impressed as France clinched a stunning home triumph. Martial, who featured prominently in recent friendlies, has the element of surprise that could decide big games.
Manager:
Didier Deschamps
The 47-year-old replaced Laurent Blanc after Euro 2012. Chances of success look promising after a respectable World Cup showing that ended in the last eight, and France look comfortable playing in the 4-3-3 system he favours.

ESPN, ESPN Deportes, ESPN FC, WatchESPN & ESPN app
Group A
Romania
Progress to the knockout stage would be satisfactory enough for a fairly dour Romania, who lack the match winners to trouble bigger sides. Their final group match, against Albania, might be a playoff for third place and a possible round-of-16 spot.
How they qualified:
Second in Group F
Romania had the best defensive record of all the qualifiers, having conceded just twice, but their group contained weak opponents. They finished unbeaten and four points clear of archrival Hungary but one behind group winner Northern Ireland.
How they'll proceed:
Four points should guarantee progress for most third-placed teams, so Romania, who are certainly draw specialists, will be eyeing a tie with France or Switzerland and a win against the Albanians. That is doable, but progress to the quarterfinals would depend on a kind round-of-16 opponent.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Ciprian Tatarusanu; D: Paul Papp, Vlad Chiriches, Dragos Grigore, Razvan Rat; M: Gabriel Torje, Ovidiu Hoban, Mihai Pintilli, Bogdan Stancu; F: Nicolae Stanciu, Florin Andone.
Key player:
Vlad Chiriches
Romania's game is predicated on keeping things stable in defence, so centre-back and captain Chiriches, now with Napoli, will be vital. His comfort on the ball also gives Romania the chance to build attacking moves.
Manager:
Anghel Iordanescu
Now 65, Iordanescu is in his third stint with the national team. During his first, he oversaw a run to the last eight of the 1994 World Cup. The lack of attacking talent at his disposal now fits with the defensive tactics he tends to adopt.

ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, ESPN FC, WatchESPN & ESPN app
Group A
Albania
Albania were not expected to be here at all as this will be their first major tournament. Qualification for the knockout stage would be considered a major achievement.
How they qualified:
Second in Group I
Albania pipped Denmark and Serbia to the runners-up spot, though it was their controversial match against the latter in Belgrade, which the Albanians were awarded 3-0 after its abandonment, that tipped the scale in their favour. A clinching 3-0 win in Armenia sparked wild scenes of jubilation.
How they'll proceed:
Gianni De Biasi's tight, uncompromising unit might be suited to tournament football, but the best Albania can hope for is to challenge Romania for the third spot. It might be too big an ask.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Etrit Berisha; D: Elseid Hysaj, Berat Djimsiti, Lorik Cana, Ansi Agolli; M: Shkelzen Gashi, Taulant Xhaka, Burim Kukeli, Amir Abrashi, Ermir Lenjani; F: Sokol Cikalleshi.
Key player:
Lorik Cana
The defender is perhaps his country's best player ever and is rightly regarded as a national icon. Cana will captain the side and combines a fearless approach with the degree of composure that top-level experience brings.
Manager:
Gianni De Biasi
The Italian was appointed in 2011 and led Albania to some encouraging results in World Cup qualifying. Victory in Portugal got this team's Euro 2016 campaign off to a remarkable start, and De Biasi has instilled organization and belief into his players.

ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, ESPN FC, WatchESPN & ESPN app
Group A
Switzerland
Switzerland have never passed the group stage of a European Championship, but such an outcome in this expanded tournament, with a favourable group, is unthinkable. A talented generation needs to deliver and a place in the quarterfinals should be within their reach.
How they qualified:
Second in Group E
Two comfortable defeats to England might bode ominously for this team's prospects later on in the finals, but the rest of an unchallenging group was navigated with relative ease, with an early setback in Slovenia proving to be the only other bump in the road.
How they'll proceed:
Switzerland should finish second behind France, which would probably give them a winnable round-of-16 tie against Ukraine or Poland. They can reach the quarters but are unlikely to progress further.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Yann Sommer; D: Stephan Lichtsteiner, Johan Djourou, Fabian Schar, Ricardo Rodriguez; M: Blerim Dzemaili, Valon Behrami, Xherdan Shaqiri, Granit Xhaka, Admir Mehmedi; F: Haris Seferovic.
Key player:
Xherdan Shaqiri
The gifted Stoke forward performed well at the World Cup and will be expected to once again be a creative force, with much resting on his ability to unlock defences. He scored four goals in qualifying.
Manager:
Vladimir Petkovic
Having taken over after the 2014 World Cup, his early results have been respectable and include a 2-1 win in November in Austria. This is his first experience managing an international team.

Group B
England
Perennial underachievers on the big stage, England arrive in France with reduced expectations. Nonetheless, reaching the quarterfinals will be seen as the minimum aim, and fans will dream of greater success on the 50th anniversary of the country's 1966 World Cup win.
How they qualified:
First in Group E
England eased through by winning all 10 qualifiers in a group that offered little danger. Wayne Rooney led the way with seven goals, while Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling emerged as the campaign went on.
How they'll proceed:
20 years after England reached the last four as host nation of Euro '96, a mixture of youth and experience must come together, but the quarterfinals might be the best they can hope for.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Joe Hart; D: Nathaniel Clyne, Chris Smalling, Gary Cahill, Danny Rose; M: Eric Dier, Dele Alli, James Milner, Wayne Rooney, Adam Lallana; F: Harry Kane.
Key player:
Wayne Rooney
The teenage sensation of Euro 2004 is now the 30-year-old captain of his country. Rooney is England's all-time leading scorer, but not since he plundered four goals 12 years ago has he truly shined on the biggest international stage. Can he roll back the years in France?
Manager:
Roy Hodgson
Appointed in the buildup to Euro 2012, the 68-year-old has proved a safe hire in the aftermath of Fabio Capello's tumultuous time in charge. Hodgson guided England to the quarterfinals in Poland and Ukraine but has something to prove after a dreadful showing at the latest World Cup.

ESPN, ESPN Deportes, ESPN FC, WatchESPN & ESPN app
Group B
Russia
Russia's track record of falling short on the big stage tempers any optimism. The team's semifinal appearance at Euro 2008 was its only journey past the group stage of a European Championship, and while they will be expected to reach the Round of 16, few will hold significant hope for further progress.
How they qualified:
Second in Group G
Russia finished a distant eight points behind Austria and two in front of third-placed Sweden. They lost twice to the Austrians, but taking four points from the Swedes proved decisive.
How they'll proceed:
As with Wales and Slovakia, it is entirely plausible that Russia will come through the group stage, but it will be rather more difficult for them to make a run into the latter stages of the tournament, despite their improvement under Leonid Slutsky.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Igor Akinfeev; D: Igor Smolnikov, Sergei Ignashevich, Vasili Berezutski, Dmitri Kombarov; M: Igor Denisov, Denis Glushakov, Aleksandr Kokorin, Roman Shirokov, Oleg Shatov; F: Artyom Dzyuba.
Key player:
Roman Shirokov
Russia's captain is 34 but remains a huge influence in midfield. He is now with CSKA Moscow after a frustrating spell with Spartak that saw him sidelined due to a contractual issue. His fitness will be crucial to a side that missed him badly at the 2014 World Cup.
Manager:
Leonid Slutsky
He took over from Fabio Capello in August, when Russia sat third in their qualifying group and were in danger of missing out on Euro 2016. The two-time Russian Premier League winner with CSKA Moscow guided the team to five consecutive wins between September and November.

Group B
Wales
After reaching a major tournament for the first time since the 1958 World Cup, Wales are celebrating just being here, but that does not mean their sights are set low. The group looks tight, but in Gareth Bale, they have a match winner to outdo their rivals.
How they qualified:
Second in Group B
Wales held the Belgians to a goalless draw in Brussels and defeated them 1-0 at home, with Bale scoring the winner. Both results helped them pip third-placed Bosnia and Herzegovina to an automatic place in France.
How they'll proceed:
Although tournament experience is lacking, Wales have the talent to get through the group, and second place would give them a winnable-looking tie against the Group F runners-up. They could be surprise quarterfinalists, though the fairytale will end there.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Wayne Hennessey; D: Jazz Richards, Chris Gunter, Ashley Williams, Ben Davies, Neil Taylor; M: Joe Allen, Joe Ledley, Aaron Ramsey, Gareth Bale; F: Hal Robson-Kanu.
Key player:
Gareth Bale
Wales are built around their talisman, and even though Chris Coleman has moulded his side intelligently, they would pose half the threat without Bale. The Real Madrid forward scored seven times in qualifying and has the rare ability to lift those around him.
Manager
Chris Coleman
The former Fulham, Real Sociedad and Coventry City manager took over after the tragic death of his friend Gary Speed in 2012. Coleman has built on his predecessor's work admirably by moulding an adaptable side that plays effectively to its star players' strengths.

Group B
Slovakia
This is Slovakia's first European Championship and only their second major tournament, but a strong qualifying campaign suggests they can make an impact in France. They have a tough group, though, and reaching the last 16 would be a decent outcome.
How they qualified:
Second in Group C
Slovakia qualified in style, beginning with wins in Ukraine and then -- thrillingly -- at home against Spain. A home defeat to Belarus was their only real disappointment, and they finished three points ahead of the Ukrainians.
How they'll proceed:
That victory against Spain means the Slovakians are confident about beating anybody, but a clean sweep in Group B seems too much to ask. More likely is a tussle for second or third place, and if they make it through, they are unlikely to progress beyond the Round of 16.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Jan Kozacik; D: Peter Pekarik, Martin Skrtel, Jan Durica, Tomas Hubocan; M: Juraj Kucka, Stanislav Sestak, Robert Mak, Marek Hamsik, Vladimir Weiss; F: Adam Nemec.
Key player:
Martin Skrtel
The Liverpool defender is, along with Napoli playmaker Marek Hamsik, one of Slovakia's few stars, and he will captain the team this summer. His leadership at the back will be critical in a tight-looking group, and so might his ability to get on the end of one of Hamsik's teasing set pieces.
Manager
Jan Kozak
As a player, Kozak helped Czechoslovakia to third place in the 1980 European Championship and was the country's footballer of the year in 1981. The former Kosice manager's time in charge of Slovakia, a job he took in 2013, has been highly successful so far.

Group C
Germany
Only a run to the final will do for one of the favourites. The German players feel that, after a runners-up finish in 2008 and a loss to Italy in the 2012 semis, now is the time to win their first European Championship since 1996.
How they qualified:
First in Group D
Germany took command, despite being well beaten by Poland in their second fixture. There was another surprising setback in Ireland on the penultimate matchday, but while Germany were rarely at their best, they did enough to win the group by a point from the Poles.
How they'll proceed:
Germany ought to win Group C, despite a rematch with that impressive Poland side, and that would earn them a third-placed opponent in the Round of 16. If all goes to plan thereafter, they will face a semifinal with the French, in which victory should set them fair to put things right against Spain.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Manuel Neuer; D: Emre Can, Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels, Jonas Hector; M: Toni Kroos, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Thomas Muller, Mesut Ozil, Marco Reus; F: Mario Gotze.
Key player:
Thomas Muller
Perhaps more than any of the other quartets, Group C looks likely to be decided by its natural goal scorers. Germany's is the irrepressible Muller, who scored nine times in qualifying. It feels unthinkable that he will not be near the top of the charts this summer.
Manager
Joachim Low
Having previously served as an assistant under Jurgen Klinsmann, Low will celebrate a decade in charge of Germany at the end of this tournament and will hope to add a European Championship crown to the World Cup win he masterminded in Brazil two years ago.

Group C
Ukraine
Ukraine flopped in their home tournament four years ago. But if they can muster the spirit of 2006, when they reached the World Cup quarterfinals, they could go far.
How they qualified:
Via playoff
Ukraine finished third to Spain and Slovakia in Group C and only claimed a point against their two rivals. They beat Slovenia comfortably in the playoffs by winning 3-1 on aggregate. Although they have a feted attack, their defence conceded just five in 12 games.
How they'll proceed:
Ukraine probably face a battle with rivals Poland for second place. The victor will get a kind-looking round-of-16 draw against the runners-up in France's group. Expect the Poles to edge them out and Ukraine, squeezing through in third, to be picked off by a group winner.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Andriy Pyatov; D: Artem Fedetskyi, Yevhen Khacheridi, Oleksandr Kucher, Vyacheslav Shevchuk; M: Denys Garmash, Ruslan Rotan, Taras Stepanenko; F: Andriy Yarmolenko, Yevhen Konoplyanka, Roman Zozulya.
Key player:
Andriy Yarmolenko
The powerful, versatile Dynamo Kyiv forward surely cannot be much longer for the Ukrainian league. He scored twice in the qualifying playoff with Slovenia and, together with Sevilla forward Yevhen Konoplyanka, forms a Ukraine attack that can expose anybody.
Manager:
Mykhaylo Fomenko
The vastly experienced 67-year-old has a long career in Ukraine's domestic league and has impressed since taking over after Euro 2012. Ukraine narrowly failed to qualify for the World Cup, and his reign might be judged by this summer's events in France.

Group C
Poland
It seems remarkable that a country of Poland's size has reached the European Championship only twice and the last time, in 2012, was as co-hosts. They went out at the group stage both times but this year will be expected to reach the Round of 16 at minimum.
How they qualified:
Second in Group D
Poland had a fine campaign and finished only a point short of winners Germany, whom they beat 2-0 in Warsaw. Their only defeat came in the return game, and they scored more goals -- 33 -- than any other team in qualifying, though 15 of them were plundered against Gibraltar.
How they'll proceed:
Germany and Ukraine are not ideal group opponents, but the Poland players know they can overcome either in a one-off match. They should be strong enough to take second place ahead of the Ukrainians, and that would probably hand them an impossible-to-call tie against Switzerland.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Lukasz Fabianski; D: Lukasz Piszczek, Kamil Glik, Michal Pazdan, Jakub Wawrzyniak; M: Grzegorz Krychowiak, Tomasz Jodlowiec, Jakub Blaszczykowski, Arkadiusz Milik, Kamil Grosicki; F: Robert Lewandowski.
Key player:
Robert Lewandowski
He could be the difference between a long run and a relatively early exit. Lewandowski was the top scorer in qualifying, with 13 goals, two more than his nearest rival, and an outstanding season with Bayern Munich could be the platform for him to help Poland surprise.
Manager
Adam Nawalka
The 58-year-old won 34 caps for Poland as a player in the late 1970s and went on to manage a number of big clubs, including Wisla Krakow and Gornik Zabrze, in the domestic league before taking the national team reins in 2013, when he succeeded Waldemar Fornalik.

Group C
Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland had not qualified for a major tournament since the 1986 World Cup, but Michael O'Neill's side were superb in qualifying and fully merit their place in France. There will be little pressure to escape from a tough group, which could work in their favor.
How they qualified:
First in Group F
Although they were certainly not the strongest of the group, Northern Ireland impressively came out ahead of Romania, Hungary and 2004 winners Greece. They lost only once, in a defeat in Bucharest, and were a formidable prospect at their Windsor Park home.
How they'll proceed:
Despite a history of pulling off big results -- Northern Ireland have beaten the likes of Spain, England and West Germany in their time -- it would be a big ask to progress from a fiendish-looking Group C. Expect one result that raises the eyebrows but a respectable early exit.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Michael McGovern; D: Paddy McNair, Gareth McAuley, Jonny Evans, Craig Cathcart; M: Jamie Ward, Oliver Norwood, Corry Evans, Steven Davis, Stuart Dallas; F: Kyle Lafferty.
Key player:
Kyle Lafferty
The Norwich striker has played barely any domestic football this season but is of immeasurable value to his country. Seven goals in the qualifiers made all the difference for Northern Ireland, and they will hope Lafferty is sharp enough for more, despite his lack of action.
Manager
Michael O'Neill
The former midfielder, who won 31 caps for Northern Ireland as a player, took the job in 2011 after guiding Shamrock Rovers to an unprecedented Europa League group stage appearance. He has moulded a superbly organised, never-say-die unit that is performing heroics.

Group D
Spain
The reigning champions will be expected to return home with the Henri Delaunay trophy. Spain's side has evolved since 2012, but they retain a superb chance of winning a third consecutive title.
How they qualified:
First in Group C
The European champions had a five-point win over Slovakia, the only team they lost to. Their form was measured rather than spectacular, but they conceded only one goal in their nine victories and were never in danger of slipping from top spot.
How they'll proceed:
Assuming Spain win Group D, their path to the semifinals, in which they could face England or Portugal, seems fairly straightforward. Neither of those opponents should stop them reaching the final again, with a rerun of their Euro 2008 win over Germany not out of the question.
Predicted lineup:
GK: David De Gea; D: Juanfran, Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos, Jordi Alba; M: Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta; F: David Silva, Pedro, Alvaro Morata.
Key player:
David Silva
The influence of the Manchester City schemer, who drifts inside from a right-sided starting position, will need to be strong if Spain are to win a third straight European title. He scored five goals in qualifying and could win his 100th cap during the finals.
Manager
Vicente del Bosque
The 65-year-old coach guided Spain to their 2010 World Cup triumph and Euro 2012 victory and has a third major title firmly in his sights before he steps down at the end of this tournament. He'll also want to make up for a disappointing 2014 World Cup.

The Czechs have struggled recently to reach the heights of 1996 and 2004, when they reached the final and the semis, respectively. They did progress past the group stage in 2012, though, and a similar outcome would probably signal a decent campaign here.
How they qualified:
First in Group A
They might be short of stars, but their qualification showed they cannot be underestimated, as they finished ahead of Iceland, Turkey and the Netherlands and won four of their six matches against those opponents.
How they'll proceed:
On paper, it is hard to give them too much chance, but the Czechs are a well-drilled unit and have some firepower as well, though their failure to keep a clean sheet in qualifying might speak volumes. They and Turkey will fight for third place, but the Round of 16 will be the limit.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Petr Cech; D: Pavel Kaderabek, Michal Kadlec, Tomas Sivok, David Limbersky; M: Jaroslav Plasil, David Pavelka, Borek Dockal, Vladimir Darida, Ladislav Krejci; F: Tomas Necid.
Key player:
Petr Cech
The Czechs conceded 14 goals in qualifying -- more than anyone else -- and a similar pattern of generosity would bode ill in France. In Cech, they have a goalkeeper revitalised by an impressive first season at Arsenal, and he will need to be at his sharpest.
Manager
Pavel Vrba
He has done a fine job since taking over in 2014, having previously led unfancied Viktoria Plzen to the Champions League group stage. He created an impressive cohesion in the team during qualifying, and a tough group will be an intriguing test of his ability at the next level.
Schedule
Game 1 vs. Spain
9 a.m. ET/1 p.m. GMT June 13
Stade de Toulouse, Toulouse
Vrba believes that facing Spain first is a "slight advantage" before his side's more decisive fixtures.

ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, ESPN FC, WatchESPN & ESPN app
Group D
Turkey
The 2008 semifinalists return to the tournament after missing out last time around, but expectations are not especially high for a deep run. If they can get through the group, though, Turkey have the talent to trouble anyone on a given day.
How they qualified:
Third in Group A
Turkey qualified automatically in dramatic fashion as the best third-placed team, with a last-minute Selcuk Inan winner against Iceland sparking pandemonium. Prior to that, it had been a mixed campaign, with a 3-0 win over the Netherlands offset by a similar defeat to Iceland.
How they'll proceed:
Players such as Inan, Arda Turan and Hakan Calhanoglu could turn on the style against anybody, but Turkey might have to rely on another high third-placed finish at best. From there, the options for progression beyond the Round of 16 are not promising.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Volkan Babacan; D: Sener Ozbayrakli, Hakan Balta, Serdar Aziz, Caner Erkin; M: Selcuk Inan, Ozan Tufan, Hakan Calhanoglu, Oguzhan Ozyakup, Arda Turan; F: Burak Yilmaz.
Key player:
Arda Turan
Will the attacking midfielder's enforced five-month break after joining Barcelona mean he is fresher than many of the overworked stars in France? Turkey certainly hope so because Turan has gotten even better since starring at Euro 2008, where he scored two goals.
Manager
Fatih Terim
Now in his third spell in charge of the national team, the second of which brought that strong performance eight years ago, Terim has been back in the hot seat since August 2013. "The Emperor" can be a divisive figure, but his experience could be crucial in France.
Schedule

Group D
Croatia
Croatia have never gone beyond the last eight of a European Championship, but this time, a talented group of players should be aiming at least that high. Their midfield options are as good as anybody's, and anything short of the quarterfinals would be disappointing.
How they qualified:
Second in Group H
Croatia pipped Norway on the final matchday, though they lost only once and conceded just five goals. Their margin would have been more convincing had a point not been deducted following racist behaviour by their supporters in the home match against the Italians.
How they'll proceed:
The smart money is on Croatia to finish second to Spain, in which case they will probably face Belgium or Italy. That would be a mightily tough round-of-16 clash to call, especially as they drew 1-1 twice with the Italians in qualifying.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Danijel Subasic; D: Darijo Srna, Vedran Corluka, Domagoj Vida, Ivan Strinic; M: Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic, Ivan Perisic, Ivan Rakitic, Marko Pjaca; F: Mario Mandzukic.
Key player:
Luka Modric
Croatia are not short of quality, but it is encouraging that Modric seems to have found a new level with Real Madrid since the appointment of Zinedine Zidane as manager. Maintaining that form would give his country a chance to stand up to the very best.
Manager:
Ante Cacic
Little-known outside Croatia, the well-traveled 62-year-old did the job asked of him after taking over in September. Under Cacic, Croatia shrugged off the 2-0 defeat in Norway that ended Robert Kovac's reign and beat Bulgaria and Malta to qualify for France.

Group E
Belgium
If you believe the FIFA rankings, chart-toppers Belgium should be outright favourites for this tournament. The truth is not quite as rosy, but this appears the time for a wonderful generation to deliver. Falling short of the semifinals would be a missed opportunity.
How they qualified:
First in Group B
Belgium topped their pool comfortably, with a home draw and away defeat to second-placed Wales their only real blips. They scored 24 goals and conceded just five.
How they'll proceed:
The opening match against Italy could well decide who wins the group. Funnily enough, whoever finishes top might have the tougher task, as Germany are likely quarterfinal opponents. Expect Belgium to get at least that far and further still if they avoid Joachim Low's men.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Thibaut Courtois; D: Toby Alderweireld, Nicolas Lombaerts, Jason Denayer, Jan Vertonghen; M: Radja Nainggolan, Axel Witsel, Marouane Fellaini; F: Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku.
Key player:
Kevin De Bruyne
A serious knee injury saw the Manchester City midfielder miss several months, but he will be back for Euro 2016, and his country will need him. For all their talent, Belgium can look ponderous at times, but an in-form De Bruyne is capable of raising their tempo.
Manager:
Marc Wilmots
There was a sense during the 2014 World Cup, when Belgium never quite hit top gear, despite reaching the last eight, that Wilmots -- in charge since 2012 -- could get more out of his team. But he has inspired improvement since and could prove doubters wrong.

Group E
Italy
Expectations are always high around Italy, the Euro 2012 runners-up, but it would be a stretch to expect a side short on genuine stars to match that achievement. A run to the semifinals would be acceptable, especially after their embarrassing group stage exit at the 2014 World Cup.
How they qualified:
First in Group H
Italy were undefeated and won their group by four points from Croatia, though their form was solid rather than spectacular. Only twice, in Norway and Azerbaijan, did they win games by more than a single goal, and narrow home victories over Malta and the Azerbaijanis were not convincing.
How they'll proceed:
Italy never lack confidence, but they might fancy their chances more if they finished second in Group E, which could bring a last-16 meeting with Portugal but should bring an easier quarterfinal if that path is navigated. Regardless, this side will find it tough to get past the last eight.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Gianluigi Buffon; D: Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini; M: Alessandro Florenzi, Daniele De Rossi, Thiago Motta, Emanuele Giaccherini; F: Antonio Candreva, Lorenzo Insigne, Graziano Pelle.
Key player:
Giorgio Chiellini
Italy successes are usually underpinned by a dominant centre-back or two, and 31-year-old Chiellini is up with the best in the game. He also has a score to settle: A fitness doubt before the 2012 final, he started at left-back but was out of sorts in a 4-0 defeat to Spain.
Manager:
Antonio Conte
Conte, who had a glittering career as a player with Juventus and won 20 caps, will step down after this tournament and has been strongly linked with Chelsea. He took the national team job in 2014, after three years in the Juve hot seat that brought three Serie A titles.

Group E
Republic of Ireland
Ireland arrive at their second successive European Championship hoping to at least do better than their miserable group stage exit in 2012, when they lost all three games and conceded nine goals. Scraping through Group E would constitute success for a workmanlike side.
How they qualified:
Via playoffs
Ireland defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-1 on aggregate after finishing third in Group D behind Germany and Poland. A famous home win over the Germans in October earned them that spot; they also held the world champions 1-1 the previous year.
How they'll proceed:
Nobody should underestimate the Irish, who have plenty of experience and have shown they can scrap their way to the kind of result that would throw the group wide open. Their first match against Sweden looks vital, and anything but a win would make progression a very long shot.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Darren Randolph; D: Seamus Coleman, John O'Shea, Richard Keogh, Robbie Brady; M: James McCarthy, Glenn Whelan, Jonathan Walters, Wes Hoolahan, James McClean; F: Shane Long.
Key player:
James McCarthy
The Everton midfielder is a tenacious, all-action competitor and can also look after the ball in possession. He was crucial in qualifying, as he worked tirelessly in a side that relies on graft, and has the tactical astuteness for success at a major tournament.
Manager:
Martin O'Neill
A former Northern Ireland international who has managed Norwich, Leicester, Celtic, Aston Villa and Sunderland in club football, O'Neill took the job in 2013 and -- assisted by Roy Keane -- has moulded a dogged side that while short on flair will fight for the very last ball.

Group E
Sweden
Sweden rarely miss a European Championship these days but have exited at the group stage in three of their past four appearances. The presence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic makes anything possible, but advancement to the knockout stage would be surprising.
How they qualified:
Via playoffs
After finishing third behind Austria and Russia in Group G, Sweden were handed an almighty Scandinavian derby against Denmark. They won the home leg 2-1 before a superb Ibrahimovic double in Copenhagen ensured that they qualified at the expense of their bitter rivals.
How they'll proceed:
Sweden would have preferred to avoid both Italy and Belgium but should finish in front of Ireland and give themselves a chance to progress to the Round of 16. Should they qualify in third, they would likely be made short work of by France or Spain at that stage.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Andreas Isaksson; D: Mikael Lustig, Andreas Granqvist, Erik Johansson, Martin Olsson; M: Sebastian Larsson, Kim Kallstrom, Oscar Lewicki, Emil Forsberg; F: Marcus Berg, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Key player:
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
It barely needs saying: Ibrahimovic is now 34, but he scored 11 of Sweden's 19 goals in qualifying, including three in their 4-3 aggregate playoff win over Denmark. He has also produced the goods at PSG and has the star quality to elevate a workmanlike side.
Manager:
Erik Hamren
He had little playing career to speak of but was a successful coach domestically before taking the Sweden job in 2009, initially on a part-time basis while managing Norwegian side Rosenborg. He leads Sweden into a major tournament for the second time.
Schedule
Game 1 vs. Rep. of Ireland

Group F
Portugal
Portugal have reached the semifinals twice in the past four European Championships. A group stage exit at the 2014 World Cup dampened optimism, but anything short of a last-eight finish in France would be considered a failure.
How they qualified:
First in Group I
Portugal topped their group by seven points from Albania and recovered from an early home defeat to Gianni de Biasi's team to win the rest of their games. All seven of their victories were by a single goal, and Cristiano Ronaldo was the top scorer, with five.
How they'll proceed:
A team with Ronaldo at the fore and an impressive though unbalanced supporting cast always has a chance, and Portugal should win the group, which would probably mean a meeting with Italy or Belgium. England could then lie in wait; it is hard to see Portugal being consistent enough to pass both tests.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Rui Patricio; D: Vieirinha, Ricardo Carvalho, Pepe, Eliseu; M: Danilo Pereira, Joao Moutinho, Joao Mario; F: Eder, Nani, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Key player:
Cristiano Ronaldo
He did not shine throughout qualifying, but five goals helped Portugal win a straightforward group and made him the competition's all-time record scorer. Attempts to build a cohesive team around him do not always convince, and as usual, much will rest on his shoulders.
Manager:
Fernando Santos
Santos replaced Paulo Bento in 2014 and steered Portugal to qualification. He was previously in charge of Greece, whom he guided to the knockout stage at the World Cup in Brazil, and has had a long career in management with domestic clubs in both countries.

Group F
Iceland
It seems enough of an achievement that Iceland, with a population of 323,000, are playing in the finals. Their presence is a triumph of teamwork, excellent youth development and a sprinkling of individual genius -- all of which mean progress from a not especially daunting group should be the aim.
How they qualified:
Second in Group A
Iceland finished two points behind Czech Republic and two ahead of Turkey. They were unbeaten at home and recorded a memorable "double" against the Netherlands. A solid defence conceded just six times in 10 games.
How they'll proceed:
Iceland should finish at least third in the group, which would give them a good chance to reach more uncharted territory. However, third place would probably match them against Germany or Spain in the last 16 and see them bow out with their heads held high.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Hannes Halldorsson; D: Elmar Bjarnason, Kari Arnason, Ragnar Sigurdsson, Ari Skulason; M: Johann Gudmundsson, Emil Hallfredsson, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Birkir Bjarnason; F: Kolbeinn Sigthorsson, Alfred Finnbogason.
Key player:
Gylfi Sigurdsson
He is the star of a close-knit team and scored all three goals in two remarkable qualifying wins against the Netherlands. The playmaker has an international scoring record of one in three, and his prowess from set pieces, as well as long range, should be useful.
Manager:
Lars Lagerback
Lagerback made his name with a long stint in charge of his native Sweden between 2000 and 2009, which included three Euro qualifications, but his success since taking over Iceland in 2011 has been even more remarkable. He also managed Nigeria at the 2010 World Cup.

Group F
Austria
Austria have never qualified directly for a European Championship before, though they competed at Euro 2008 as co-hosts and fell in the group stage. With their best generation in years, Austria could make a run to the quarterfinals.
How they qualified:
First in Group D
Austria were brilliant in qualifying and dropped only two points as they sailed through Group D and finished eight points ahead of second-placed Russia. They recorded memorable victories in Moscow and Stockholm -- with a stunning 4-1 triumph against the latter -- and played some fine football.
How they'll proceed:
Although they are unlikely to win the trophy, Austria are an intriguing dark horse to cause some surprises. If they finish runners-up to Portugal, they would be handed a favourable-looking last-16 tie with the second-placed team in Group B, and a place in the last eight should not be beyond them.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Robert Almer; D: Florian Klein, Sebastian Prodl, Aleksandar Dragovic, Christian Fuchs; M: David Alaba, Julian Baumgartlinger, Martin Harnik, Zlatko Junuzovic, Marko Arnautovic; F: Marc Janko.
Key player:
David Alaba
The Bayern Munich man starts in midfield but appears all over the pitch, keeping the ball moving slickly for an attractive, vibrant side. A very modern player, Alaba is Austria's first world-class player in many years, and his quality can help them through the group.
Manager:
Marcel Koller
The Swiss took over in 2011 after spells in Germany with Cologne and Bochum and has turned Austria's fortunes around after an encouraging World Cup qualifying campaign set the groundwork for subsequent success. As a player, Koller won 56 Switzerland caps.

Group F
Hungary
Hungary's name is a romantic one in football, but they have struggled in recent years, and this is their first major tournament since 1986. That is enough to keep the public happy for now, and progress from the group stage would be seen as a major achievement.
How they qualified:
Via playoffs
Hungary finished third in Group F, which was probably the weakest of the qualifying lineups. They faced Norway in the playoffs and performed superbly in both legs to win 1-0 in Oslo and 2-1 at home, with the highlight being a marvelous goal from ex-Watford and Ipswich striker Tamas Priskin.
How they'll proceed:
Although they have a reasonable mix of promise and experience, it is hard to see Hungary possessing the ingenuity to make the knockout phase. A win in the Austria or Iceland games will probably be necessary to keep their hopes alive when they face the Portuguese.
Predicted lineup:
GK: Gabor Kiraly; D: Attila Fiola, Richard Guzmics, Adam Lang, Tamas Kadar; M: Adam Nagy, Krisztian Nemeth, Laszlo Kleinheisler, Akos Elek, Balazs Dzsudszak; F: Adam Szalai.
Key player:
Balazs Dzsudzsak
Hungary's captain is primarily a left winger with an eye for goal, and he has scored 17 times in 75 caps. He is one of few players on the squad who has been decisive at international level before and netted a famous equaliser in the qualifying draw with rivals Romania.
Manager:
