Euro 2016 has put together some brilliant games for our enjoyment so far in the tournament. Thursday sees three interesting games. However, while only two of those games may be “watchable”, all three games can and will be discussed here at Bavarian Football Works.
England vs. Wales (Group B)
The day opens with a game between two of the “Home Nations” when England and Wales face each other. If Wales can take all three points against England, they will guarantee themselves a spot in the knockout rounds. Anything less than a win puts England in a difficult spot with their final match against Slovakia.
Location: Stade Bollaert-Delelis, Lens, France

Ukraine vs. Northern Ireland (Group C)
If you have to miss one match on Thursday, this is likely the one you want to skip. Ukraine and Northern Ireland isn’t likely shaping up to be a barnburner, and Northern Ireland are surely one of, if not the worst team in the entire tournament. A Ukraine victory puts them in a strong position to advance to the knockout round with the final match against Poland.
Location: Parc Olympique Lyonnais, Lyon, France
Time: 6:00 PM local, 12:00 PM ET
TV/Streaming: USA (ESPN, ESPN Deportes TV, SiriusXM FC, ESPN Deportes Radio, WATCH ESPN), UK (TalkSport Radio UK, BBC Northern Ireland, BBC Radio 5 Live, STV Scotland, ITV 1 UK), Canada (TSN Radio 1040 | 1410 Vancouver, TSN4, RDS, TSN5), Germany (ORF TV Live Streaming, ZDF, SRF zwei, ORF 1, Sport1.FM)

Germany vs. Poland (Group C)
The big match of the day features Bayern Munich stars on both sides. Robert Lewandowski and Poland will attempt to pull one over his club teammates and Germany. Mats Hummels isn’t expected to get the start for Jogi Löw’s side, and it’s likely that he fields a similar lineup that took the field against Ukraine. If Bastian Schweinsteiger doesn't get the start for Germany, it’s likely that Manuel Neuer will once again wear the captain’s armband. Both teams are sitting pretty in the group following their opening victories, and a win here will put one team through to the next round.
Location: Stade de France, Saint-Denis, France
Time: 9:00 PM local, 3:00 PM ET
