The football is back. Consign the Euros and Copa America to memory. At 2pm on Wednesday, as Uzbekistan take on Spain and Argentina face Morocco, football kicks off the Olympics in Paris.
Its drama will only end a week before the Premier League season begins and we are offered a host of intriguing story lines. Major stars from across the men's and women's games will feature, with a few big-name coaches thrown in for good measure.
Among them we've got a Ballon d'Or winner, World Cup winners, Champions League victors, and many more.
