Euro 2016 state of play: results, tables, schedule and TV times

THE FIRST round of the Euro 2016 group stages is over but the tournament is just heating up.

Each team still has two more matches to play before the two teams with the most points and the four best third-placed teams in each group progress to the Round of 16. That means a country could make the knockout stages after earning just three points in the group stage.

While the heavyweight nations and their world-class stars have produced moments of brilliance in the first round, will they replicate similar form in the matches to come?

To make sure you’re on top of each group’s results, table, next fixtures and TV times in AEST, here is your current state of play!

BREAKING: José Mourinho Appointed as Manchester United manager

• Portuguese coach has won 22 trophies since 2003





José Mourinho will take over as manager of Manchester United from the 2016/17 season, signing a three-year contract with an option to stay at the club until at least 2020.

José, 53, has managed at the top level of European football for over a decade and in that time has won league titles and cups in four countries (Portugal, England, Italy and Spain), as well as winning the UEFA Champions League twice – in 2004 with FC Porto and in 2010 with Inter Milan.

Announcing the appointment, Ed Woodward said: "José is quite simply the best manager in the game today. He has won trophies and inspired players in countries across Europe and, of course, he knows the Premier League very well, having won three titles here.

"I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome him to Manchester United. His track record of success is ideal to take the club forward."

FIFA remembers Former African Footballer of the Year, Rasheed Yekini

The Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA), on Wednesday remembered Nigeria’s late ex-international, Rasheed Yekini, four years after his death.

In a statement on the world football governing body’s website, FIFA looked back on Yekini’s memorable goal which became historic and the subsequent celebration.

Yekini, who is Nigeria’s highest goal scorer (37 goals) till date, died of illness on May 4, 2012, at the age of 48.

He entered history books after scoring the Super Eagles’ first ever FIFA World Cup goal at the 1994 finals held in the U.S. in the 3-0 group stage win over Bulgaria.

Brazil 2014: Ronaldo boosts Portugal hopes, returned to training

- AFP  - Cristiano Ronaldo handed Portugal a huge boost on Saturday as he returned to training after leg injuries that had threatened to wreck his World Cup. The star forward has been struggling for weeks with thigh and knee injuries that forced him out of Portugal's last two warm-up matches and raised fears he might miss the start of the Brazil tournament.

Portugal kick off their World Cup campaign against Germany on June 16 in Group G, which also features the USA and Ghana.

U.S beats African Champions 2-1

Jozy Altidore insists his six-month scoreless streak never bothered him. No sleepless nights. No feelings of frustration. Not even a bit of worry it would stretch into the World Cup. His coach believes otherwise. Whatever the case, Altidore and the United States won't have to deal with that story line in Brazil.

Altidore scored a pair of goals to lead the United States over Nigeria 2-1 Saturday night in the Americans' World Cup send-off match.

Brazil 2014: Cameroon fight back to draw Germany

Germany Senior National Team were held to a 2-2 draw by Indomitable Lions of Cameroon on Sunday evening in their penultimate warm-up match before the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™.

Thomas Muller and Andre Schurrle looked to have put Joachim Low's side on course for victory when they struck to swiftly overturn Samuel Eto'o's 62nd-minute opener in Monchengladbach.

However, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting equalised 12 minutes from time to send the visitors away with a positive result after an equally positive performance, which raised more questions about the strength of the Germany defense. Germany face Armenia in their final pre-World Cup friendly on Friday before flying out to Brazil next Saturday, and Low must decide today which 23 players he will be taking with him on that trip. Low gave Erik Durm his international debut at left-back in a defensive like which would otherwise be a good bet for Germany's Group G opener against Portugal.
