Who's going to Ukraine for the Euros?

I don't get it why did you include me in your post ?

 

because you hate ukraine and poland

 

When do the matches start? I may actually go provided it doesn't interfere with AT or whatever school I have to go to in 2012.

 

Yea I hate it, Mr. Not capitalizing the names of the countries.

btw, Russian fans are going to take this thing over. Like Portugal 2004 where the English outnumbered the host country at the stadium. It'll be like that in Ukraine when Russia plays.

 

please tell me of all people you are not becoming the grammar police of the forum

 

Never mind.

 

dunno, may be, but highly doubt it.

 

I'm planning to go, planted some roots in Lviv and Kharkiv now, so should have places to stay

 

Russia is gigantic, obviously you should have the most fans since their the closest country that borders the host, and population dwarfs everyone. Really not saying much, don't know why you constantly mention that

 

I am going to try and go, but don't know if I will have much money. Would like to turn it into a tour of Poland and Ukraine too. Have some Polish friends as well, but they live in Lodz, but not far from a couple site cities.

 

I'm considering it. Will have to see what the prices for the tickets will be like.

 

I am going, unless something unforeseen happens.

 

If Russia doesnt get WC 18 then maybe but ill be low on money so probably not. If people do go definitely post pics on here.

 

IF Russia plays.

 

I might be going. It all depends on company and whether I can convince my wife not to fight this.

 

100 a day may be a little much for low brow types like myself, especially considering my diet will mostly consist of beer and candy bars. I might look into seeing if there are any universities offering dorm rooms to students taking Ukrainian classes for a few weeks. I know you can do it in Moscow and Petersburg, as I have friends who have lived in dorm for only two weeks in both cities.

 

If I can afford it I'll surely go. Hopefully Russia plays in Ukraine and not Poland. Have no desire to go there.

 

My guess is that getting a hotel will be outlandishly expensive.

 

I can't tell you about Kharkov, because I have never stayed in a hotel there, and from what I saw, there appears to be only one non Soviet one in town. Which just happens to be where Everton stayed, while they were in town.
Hotels in Ukraine are well known price fixers. Hotels in Kiev run in the $300 range for Soviet era bedrooms, which is why anybody who knows better rents an apartment from somebody. I can only imagine what those managers are going to be running their rooms at during the Euros.

 

If I end up going, I'll probably split time with Kyiv and Lviv. Lucky for me that I get free accomodations in both places, and I don't have much of an urge for touristy stuff. The rest is making sure I have the time off to go.

 

I definitely would love to go visit those countries.

An unrelated question, but about soccer, what is generally considered better -directly behind the goal, or a little offset to either side of the goal behind?


for instance Seat 1 or Seat 2?
