Stam hopes to get better of Koller

The showdown between giant Czech striker Jan Koller and Holland’s Jaap Stam could well be the key to tonight’s crunch Euro 2004 Group D clash in Aveiro.

Koller, the tallest player in Europe at 6ft 8in, will hope to get the better of seasoned campaigner Stam as the Czechs look to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
