Sweden have been disappointing. You'd think they'd get the concept 'The Winner Takes It All'.

 

[golddene]

tight game like a mid prem match, we should have too much for either of these, hope it goes to extra time and pens with both teams exhausted. YES 1-1

 

[LamieRobertson]

Can’t make out which side the crowd is supporting

1/1

 

[KeegansHairPiece]

Both well organised and keep a good shape.

I seem to recall we always think we should beat the Swedes but always find them incredibly difficult opponents.

Who do we want to win

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

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.

Like the Lebanon, the Old Kent Road and the France?

No, it must be something else. I suspect the involvement of aliens from outer space. They are definitely the here.

I see the explanation is elegantly posted above by [MENTION=25402]Blue Valkyrie[/MENTION] :bowdown.

Curiously the explanation is the opposite of why The Levant may offend Israelis and Lebanese alike.

I think I just derailed my own thread. Again

Tricky that….I think the best result has to be ET and penalties

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

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...

I worked with some guys....quite relaxed about stuff. Spoke Russian at home ('more use to the kids than Ukranian, and they get their English at school') but if anyone were to slip in the 'the' word, it would be що, блядь?

Good to see all the kick off times are now 8pm

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

The The The aside

It's a very enjoyable watch

I think it stems from the Beatle's Back in the USSR, I.e. "The Ukraine girls really knock me out..". Or that may be an urban myth.

Back OT, I was about to ask whether anyone feels that either of these are (genuinely) a good side? This may be one of the best games played in Scotland in the last 25 years, but....

 

[Mackenzie]

I hope Sweden lose, Ukraine could do with a boost.

I'm more than happy to blame it on Paul McCartney.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Decent game now. Both goals Under Attack.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Loads of woodwork involved here.

Whenever the commentator says Matvienko’s name, I think of this
