I am obviously eagerly anticipating the opening match, but also Germany v Poland. Poland surprised me during the qualifiers. We will also see Sweden and Zlatan Ibrahimović. This will allow me to meet lots of supporters from many different places. We are in a diverse area and these group stage matches reflect that. Now that we know the draw, we can finally start to plan – we can't wait for the tournament to start!
