The third episode of the Euro Daily podcast features the final of three group stage previews and of course the final two groups. One features Spain in what appears an easy group - against Sweden, Slovakia and Poland - but they've faltered early before, as they have experienced in the last three tournaments. Robert Lewandowski of Poland and Marek Hamsik of Slovakia will be hoping to have other ideas. Group F, alternatively, couldn't be set up any more differently. Whilst it contains Hungary as a middling European team, it also contains France, Portugal and Germany - who hold 6 European Championships between them.
