PBP: Ukraine vs Sweden: June 11 - NSC Olimpiyskiy [R]

Wow, this is vintage Sheva.

 

shevaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
2-1 , 35 and still at it
now it would be complete if he could score a hatrick

 

hee hee... so far, so good....

 

Sheva hat-trick! *clap clap clap clap clap*

 

Definitely the most exciting. Who knew that after the first round of games, that Sweden/Ukraine would be the big one? lol

 

Ukraine have a weakness of sitting back on leads... I am afraid this is happening right now.

 

I don't know if this is the most exciting, I also liked the Spain-Italy. But after the last game we had this one is looking great!

 

really not that surprised... I told my friend yesterday and he said he was really looking forward to Spain-Italy and France-England but wasn't going to bother with the other games.. I told him though that Croatia-Ireland & Ukrain-Sweden may actually be the games to watch, as the heavyweights will be trying to conserve their energy cancel each other out and not lose while for some of these "smaller" teams, every game is a cup final... mind you, Italy-Spain turned out to be pretty good but these two other games have certainly been worth watching!

 

shevs will have shot his bolt by the 3rd game.

 

I do not expect him starting the other two games, so - who knows... He already left his mark.

 

great match - so happy to see a host nation get a win, so happy for Shevchenko - he deserved this!

 

As a neutral all I can say is to both teams, that was the best played match of this tournament so far.

Oh, and congratulations to Ukraine.

 

Victory that Ukraine absolutely had to have to keep any chance of advancing from this tough group. The home support at the Olympiyskiy carried us through...

 

I had my doubts about Ukraine winning - glad they proved me wrong. More than happy to see Ibrahimović lose.

 

Not happy to see the Ukrainians win - but Shev came through in spades. Nice match - both sides played positive football. With the draw between England and France, one of these teams (Sweden or Ukraine) really needed a result to have hopes of going through....

 

A big congrats to Ukraine. I'd love to see either of these teams pull out of the group stage, but it is nice to see a host country (especially one that hasn't been given much credit) come out with a win.

 

if I'm not mistaken, Ukraine now have made a bit of history tonight... they are now the only team in Europe to have a perfect 100% winning record in the European Championships!

Well... for now at least... played 1, won 1!

 

Ukraine are tough at home. Both France and England have experienced that. The reality of a short group tournament is such that a draw might be enough for Ukraine to advance if other results fall in line.

 

With the won vs Sweden, I think Ukraine will have the first position of chart to the end. So , i hope they will go to semi finals.

 

With a draw in the other group match Ukraine can realistically make it out of the group with a draw, albeit a win would clinch it for them.

 

I could see a draw against England, I think it just depends on their mentality after France. If they pull out a draw, or even a 1-0 loss, I think they'd have to go up against England feeling pretty good.
