How are Greece preparing for the tournament?
Coach Fernando Santos is still waiting for the Greek Super League play-offs to end before naming - on May 20 - his initial selection of 25 players for the pre-Euro 2012 training camp that will take place in the Austrian town of Kitzbuhel. The Greek squad will depart on May 22 and will stay there until June 1. In Kitzbuhel, or to be exact in nearby Kufstein, the Galanolefki (the blue and whites) will play friendlies with Slovenia (May 26) and Armenia (May 31). Santos will announce Greece's final squad on May 29. Upon returning to Athens, the players will take the next two days off and on June 3 the squad will fly out to Warsaw, where they will be based during the tournament.

What is Greece's realistic target?
Not qualifying from the group stage will be considered a failure, yet the Greek FA have not set specific targets. Santos said in an interview that he would love to face off against his native Portugal if Greece make it to the quarter-finals. Greek aspirations will grow, though, if the team manage to stun co-hosts Poland in the opening match of the tournament. Many have their fingers crossed for a repeat of the Euro 2004 feat, when in the opening match, Otto Rehhagel's "pirates" defeated hosts Portugal.

What 's Greece toughest group match?
The opener against Poland will most certainly be the trickiest. Should Greece lose, their chances of even qualifying to the next stage will be greatly reduced. On the other hand, a victory - apart from the three points - will guarantee Santos' side a huge psychological boost.

Are there any injury or fitness concerns?
Not a single player from those used in the qualifying campaign and the most recent friendlies has been ruled out. Samsunspor striker Fanis Gekas picked up an injury last March and missed the final matchdays of the Turkish league, but since then he has returned to fitness, albeit lacking match form.

Are there any surprise picks that could to the Euros?
In contrast to Otto Rehhagel, who was heavily criticised for showing endless faith in the players of his Euro 2004 squad, Santos has opened the gates of the team to scores of talented players from a number of Greek clubs, and not just those in the top tiers. But the biggest surprise may not be the call-up of a youngster, but rather that of Nikos Liberopoulos. The 36-year-old AEK forward has clearly shown that he does not have the stamina needed for the tournament, but he was included in the squad for Greece's last friendly, against Belgium.

What is the biggest issue for the coach to resolve?
Greece's attacking abilities were never famous, but with Santos the team have greatly improved in this area. However, he has to do more than just hope Fanis Gekas's return to the side (he had retired from international football in 2010 due to a dispute with Santos, but he apologised and was reinstated) will solve the problem. Kostas Mitroglou of Atromitos has had another great season in the Greek league, proving yet again that he is the most reliable forward in the country. Ηowever, he has so far been overlooked by Santos.
