How bad is Ukraine?

[canada1]

Wow, what a disaster. I thought Ukraine was supposed to be a very strong team. Saudi's and Tunisia must be fancying their chances after today's awful performance.

Spain looked great. Creative, fluid and in control. They could go far (or screw up like they always seem to do...)

I cant really say.

ukraine was very unlucky. they recieved two early goals, which were lucky goals. after that they had no big chance to win anymore.
and then they were red card wrongly and recieved a penalty goal.
they were never in reach of the victory.

but judging from the way the game looked like, spain would have dominated anyway and ukraine couldnt have kept up. they were not strong enough to put spain under pressure

tunesia has still a chance. tunesia vs ukraine will be 50/50

The key is to keep Andriy Shevchenko is close proximity and avoid him controlling the game for Ukraine. I havent seen anything special by Ukraine as of yet, but I feel they will be aggressive against Saudi Arabia. I hope Tuker and Montashari do the job of double-teaming Shevchenko and Saudis win

I dont even think that they are strong, they were lucky to even get to the worldcup, they had some lucky wins against Greece and Denmark and Turkey in the Qualifiers and the other teams kept getting one point a game between each other, turkey should have won the group.
I hope Saudi makes it to the 2nd round with spain.
Asia was crap so far as Iran and Japan are 99% out all hope is on Korea and Saudi.

You know, if Korea and Saudi Arabia both qualify, they can face eachother in the 2nd round provided one team tops the group (Korea is possible) and the other comes second (I hope its Saudi Arabia) thanks to the match draws for the groups. This helps to guarantee one Asian side in the QFs. If that is the case, Inshallah, I will be supporting Saudi Arabia no matter what. They have beaten Korea twice if I recall in the qualifiers with relative ease, and I think Saudi Arabia can make it. INSHALLAH

It all comes down to how Saudis play against Ukraine and Spain probably beating both Tunisia and Saudi Arabia in the end.

FOR SAUDI ARABIA...FOR ASIA !!!

Well with that Performance both Saudi Arabia and Tunisia must be very thrilled over their chances of qualification

Sheva will never perform good for Ukraine because he has Kaka and Seedorf giving him passes in AC Milan but he has nobody to feed him in the Ukraine NT, thats why Sheva was invisbile vs Spain
