As Euro 2016 moves into its second week, we pick out three players to watch in Friday's fixtures…
Italy's win over a star-studded Belgium sees them sit top of Group E going into their second group game, while their opponents, Sweden, began the tournament with a draw against a spirited Republic of Ireland.
The Czech Republic, meanwhile, will be aiming to bounce back from their narrow defeat by Spain when they take on Group D leaders Croatia, who secured a 1-0 win over Turkey in their opening game, courtesy of a stunning strike from midfielder Luka Modric.
The day's action will conclude at the Allianz Riviera in Nice, where defending champions Spain will play Turkey.
With all that to look forward to, we give you three players to watch out for come kick-off time...

"They know the Norse hellfire that awaits them" And that will be Hungary; it will be interesting to see how the Magyars hold up.
ELO Ratings Hungary 36th, Iceland 44th and so this is one of the Saturday games.

LOL now folks here say Klinsi’s a “Genius” for the US making the Copa America semis.

Second half was a complete meltdown by the US. Brooks and Guzan kept them in the game, ECU was hammering pretty hard. Woods is a bright spot, but I think he sits next game along with Jones. Missing Lando controlling pace, Bradley was all over the bad passes. Liking the lineup without Altidore, Demps always the aggressor showed his value.

Yeah. We were horrid in the second half last night.
I love how wins (AT HOME!) over Costa Rica, Paraguay and Ecuador all of a sudden are some great accomplishment.
Why oh why do the US TV people that cover the games always have to be such cheerleaders?!?!

If Ecuador had equalized, the chances of the US winning the game would have been zero.
