Ukraine will be front and center on the world stage with Poland as the two nations set to co-host the  UEFA Euro 2012  Tournament.

But as a host nation, anything is possible when playing on your home soil in front of millions of loyal supporters. Here is the opening round schedule for Group D at the UEFA Euro 2012 Tournament (All Times ET): Group D England France Sweden Ukraine (host nation) Monday, June 11 France vs. England: 12:00 p.m. (Donbass Arena - Donetsk, Ukraine) Ukraine vs. Sweden: 2:45 p.m. (Olympic Stadium - Kiev, Ukraine) Friday, June 15 Sweden vs. England: 12:00 p.m. (Olympic Stadium - Kiev, Ukraine) Ukraine vs. France: 2:45 p.m. (Donbass Arena - Donetsk, Ukraine) Tuesday, June
