MATCH THREAD: Ukraine vs. France

[Alio]

Morning ladies, Dr Alio here with Friday's first Euro Soccer game of the day. It's Mila Kunis v Gerard Depardieu, it's the Klitschko's v the Bogdanoff's it's the Ukraine v France

The Ukraine started the tournament with a 2-1 over Sweden in the battle of the Striking God's. Shevchenko back to his best in front of his home fans, was pretty awesome to watch, but I can't see him getting as much luck this time round. Very impressed with Konoplyanka and Yarmolenko (yes I did have to check on the spelling) in the first game, I think they'll be serving up some Ukrainian Cuisine upon the French asses tonight. However, up against a better defence, I'm not sure if they'll be finishing off those chances this time round. Bon appetit anyway

As for the French, well they had a game against the English, not sure if you heard about that. France were certainly the better team and are or at least were 3rd favourites to lift the trophy at the start of the tournament. I think they could have easily stepped up the gas a bit in the first game, but seemed content with a draw against England, so they'll be going for an all out win here tonight to ensure there's no possible way of them missing out, if other results don't go their way. I'm going for a French win with Benzema who got da keys to my Bimmer netting twice, Ribery possibly getting another

Stat of the game, the French have never lost to the Ukraine

Kanchelskis vs Distin. Should be a goodun.

A ukraine win is the best result for a) England and b ) every right thinking person who hates the french so viva Shevchenko.

Ahh FFS, no mention of Kanchelskis, you've outdone me with Geography for a second time, I only had Russia in my mind.
