Ukraine vs. Turkey

Okay guys, I know we are in, but still a big game...

Ive written a fair bit in the Turkish forums already, but more importantly; where can we watch this one?

Apparently, theres a good crowd coming. I hope our boys dont let them down :star: :thmbup:

Article (from ukrainiansoccer.net)

- How will you prepare for the World Cup finals?
- We haven't planned anything yet. We think only about two matches against Turkey and Albania. You know, the stadium will be full as there are no tickets to be available for the upcoming match in Kyiv. So we plan as far as till the next game. And then we are planning to prepare for the World Cup finals.

- Will the fact that our team has already qualified for the finals allow the coaching staff maybe to experiment with the starting line-up?
- No, we will select an optimal squad to play Turkey, Ukraine's ranking has to rise after all.

- Who were the best players in Ukraine squad in Tbilisi's qualifier?
- Andriy Voronin was recognized as yesterday's match best player. Ruslan Rotan also showed quite a good performance.

Has the squad changed at all? Do you expect all the big players not to play?

I read Shevchenko went to Milan already.

I really hope a draw is in order, which I don't think is to far fetched although I am not holding my breath. Ukraine are still undefeated, so thats something to play for. Also a full house in the stadium. And Bloxin is a professional who also has ties to Greece, just maybe they can get a result?

Sheva might play, but no one is sure. We also want our ranking to be as high as possible to get as easy a draw as possible for next year. I predict Ukraine 1 - 0 Turkey.
