Gary Lineker hosts coverage of the Group B encounter between Greece and Nigeria in Bloemfontein.
The Greeks were surprisingly crowned European champions six years ago, but they have a point to prove in South Africa. They lost all three games on their only previous World Cup appearance in 1994, including a defeat to the Nigerians. However, they will surely be tough to beat this time round, especially with canny German coach Otto Rehhagel still in charge.
Nigeria struggled to qualify for the World Cup, but will be determined to impress in the first tournament on African soil. The Super Eagles boast plenty of familiar names, including Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel and former Newcastle striker Obafemi Martins. They are led by Swedish coach Lars Lagerback, who only took over the side earlier this year.
