I hope Ukraine will pull this game out, and at least get a draw out of the game. Let's go Ukraine!!
Just for future reference, I don't like starting threads for individual matches like this, because once that match is over, the thread dies. It's just a suggestion, but after this thread, could we keep all Euro 2012 talk in it's thread?
it seems like FOREVER since the french national team "tested the waters" with white players. and look at that their win in international play today is thanks to two whites!
However, it was a deserved win for France…Ukraine never managed to hit top gear and Pyatov actually kept them in the game for a while, making a number of key saves. France were very skillful in exploiting the defensive weaknesses of the Ukrainians, they look like a solid side.
The Ukraine vs. England match could turn out to be a real treat for the neutrals.
