[Football] Sweden v Ukraine

[LamieRobertson]

After the Lord Mayors show?

Well least the suns shining in Scotland

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Sweden versus the Ukraine

It's 'UKRAINE' FFS. Gets my the goat, the that. Every the ****ing the time.

Incidentally if Sweden win then it will be the whole of NSC up in arms about the unwelcome presence of [MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION] on Saturday.

Oh.... hang on

 

[Is it PotG?]

Come on Sweden.

I was just saying the same to my wife, she thinks it stems from the UK being known as 'the UK' and so 'the Ukraine' rolls off the tongue for us British.

At least the Scottish can watch some football

We'll end up playing Sweden in the QF, which will go to penalties, and if all square the decider will go to which team captain who can assemble an Ikea Kapgafre the quickest.

Can we ban [MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION] for a week if we end up playing them? I am not a fan of list of names of great Englishman and “your boys took one hell of a beating” posts

Apparently the Ukranians don't like it either...oh sorry.. I mean Ukranians don't like it either...

Graham Potter does not manage Sweden, so we're safe.

Great goal

It's UK rain at the moment.

I was just saying the same to my wife, she thinks it stems from the UK being known as 'the UK' and so 'the Ukraine' rolls off the tongue for us British.

The offence is that 'the' signifies a region of a country ( eg the Midlands ) or non-offensively a conglomeration of states ( eg the USA, the EU, the UK, the USSR ).

In this case 'the Ukraine' signifies a region of 'the USSR'.

So the country is being demoted to a region of the Soviet Union, which is why the term is so offensive.

Corrected for you

Saw this post and came on to say it's Ukraine FFS, you got me!

 

[Husty]

Who else is cheering on Sweden just to enjoy the disappointment of Swansmen then?

 

[Pevenseagull]

The combination of their kits is a bit IKEA catalogue ... I can accept that from the Swedes

My wife's Ukrainian, finds it pretty annoying.

She is now acting like she cares about football, lose lose scenario for me if they win tonight...
