Season kicks off today with the Super Cup in Lviv between Shaxtar and Dynamo. Something for fans to cheer about! Preview
I'm watching the game and Dynamo's defense is still a comical mess lol. Good goal for Gladkyi. Hopefully he can get his form back, we need more forwards for the qualifiers.
Yes, it looks like Shaxtar is just a bit ahead of Dynamo at the moment... Nice to hear the whole stadium singing the national hymn late in the game - including Miner fans.
Also I just read that there won't be 2 stage UPL. There will be 26 Rounds. There will be more games in the Ukrainian Cup however to compensate.
Lviv to be the center of YKPAIHIAH Futbol! Shaxtar and MetaDon to play in Arena Lviv. (At least the stadium will finally get a good workout!!!) Olimpik to be based at Shchaslyve, Kyiv Oblast and play at Obolon Arena. Zorya to play @ Slavutych Arena in Zaporizhzhia. Minor leagues... Shaxtar-3 to play in Karlivka, Poltava Oblast. (FC Karlivka have left Druha Liha for the amateurs) Real Pharma Ovidiopol to play at Ivan Stadium in Odesa while Victor Dukov Stadium is under construction. When do you think we will see Futbol again in Donetsk????? Hopeful Spring 2015.... I can't see it happening this year. Comments?
Lmao! Lviv is lucky that stadium isn't considered a white elephant anymore. Yea maybe next spring they can go back, best case scenario.
Dnipro winners 2-0 over MetaDon in the opening match. Super goal by Konoplianka. Checher fouling Zozulia for the second time and Matheus scores a penalty http://tsn.ua/bin/player/embed.php/384032695/2
Watching highlights of Chernomorets v. Olimpik - every domestic Chernomorets player singing the national anthem. No one from Olimpik as much as opened their mouth. Am I reading too much into this? I follow Rakistky on Twitter and he seems pretty anti-Russian separtists
Hoverla 2-2 Karpaty Shatskhih scores again..... http://tsn.ua/bin/player/embed.php/384033109/2 Dynamo 1-0 Vorskla Bezus scores minus celebration
Shatskikh... Man, we could have used him... P.S. - classy move from bezus - he did not want to excessively celebrate the goal against his old team. respect.
Not just that. Earlier that morning the President of Vorskla and Mayor of Kreminchuk, Babayev was shot dead.... No doubt a classy move by Bezus....
3 games today... Leaders all won Dynamo with a big with in XAPKIB. Dnipro with a lucky late goal against Volyn. Shaxtar come from behind to handle Vorskla. Shastkikh scored again and now is equals Rebrov's 123 goal record... http://www.ua-football.com/ukrainian/high/53dd4850.html
Big game in Lviv as SD hold on with 10 men and defeat MX by the lone goal. Dynamo held to newcomers Olimpik....
Dnipro go top on a huge 4-0 home win against Karpaty... 3 of the 4 goals substitute Shaxov was involved scoring 2 and setting up the last goal. The lad is seriously looging for a starting role on this team. http://www.ua-football.com/video/ukrainian/53e7b929.html
Fedetsky moved to CB and made way for 18 yr old Valeriy Luchkevich to play RB. He looked sprightly and almost scored a wonderful solo goal.
I was wondering who that was (just finished watching extended highlights). Seleznov was god awful - even for his low standards. Missed point blank, no speed, no strength, no touch. Why does he start over Kalinich?
