Errrrrm..... Yeah, Ukraine and stuff. As the squad profiles get harder, so does the author but only because I've got a picture of Frankie Sandford eating a Calippo as my laptop background. Ukraine obviously qulified as co-hosts so my tried and tested easing-in-with-qualifying-results technique is up the spout, so we'll kick off with the emerging story the Eastern Europe has gone a wee bit naughty with regards to racism. Who'd have thunk it eh? Recent footage on BBC's Panorama displayed a startling lack of giving a sh*t by anyone in authority over there. Apparently they were just "pointing" at the other team's fans. Rumours that Luis "Friend of negritos" Suarez is off to Shaktar Donetsk are, so far, unconfirmed.
The squad features several names that British fans will be familiar with. For example, Anfield flop Andriy Voronin, he of the extremely gash pony tail and even gasher first touch, has made the final 23. Anatoliy Tymoshchuk played in Bayern Munich's Champions League final defeat to Chelsea last month and forward Artem Milevskiy is always extremely boss on Football Manager and always scores against my Everton side for City, the snidey commie git. Apart from that, I'm going to be honest, I haven't got a clue about the rest of them, but expect Clive "********" Tyldesley to pretend to have an intimate knowledge of each member of the 23. Is it just me or is he the most detestable commentator on TV? (Not a match for Alan Green admittedly but at least that fat mess sticks to radio)
Jock's player to watch is Andrei Shevchenko, who else? He't the only one I really know about so he'll have to do. He was another of my footballing idols until he missed that penalty in Istanbul the f*cking halfwit. Anyway, if the hosts are to have any chance of progressing in their own finals, big Andrei will need to have his shooting boots on.
Prediction
Group stage. They'll be hoping home advantage steers them further but as previously mentioned, it'll be between Ukraine and the Swedes on who finishes third in the group.
LATE ADDITION
Bugger all to do with football but in the course of my research I discovered that Mila Kunis was born in Ukraine. So here's some pics of her.
Feel free to add your own. But not the boobies pic (LINK NOT SAFE FOR WORK FFS)
