Ciao from California!
Hola from sunny CA state.
I have been living and playing football in California for 13 years now. I am not a pro of course. I just grew up in a football-nut family, and have watched all World Cups starting from Argentina 78. Attended the 3rd-place game in Los Angeles 1994. The toughest WC to watch was in 2002 because of the time zone(s). I had been a devoted Dnepr fan in 83 till 89, while my dad supported Dynamo Kyev all his live (Lobanovsky was his idol, I think very highly of him too). I was in already California when my dad told me about Sheva. I thought he was exaggerating. Then we had Barca 3-0 in Kiev and 4-0 in Catalunia. And I started to pay attention. Watched Real got beat next.... I could not believe when I heard a rumor about Milan paying huge $$$ for our Sheva ... and still cannot belive how well he played and is playing for Milan.... Here, last year I started to follow our great star in Series A and in the CL, and most importantly in the World Cup qualifiers. Ukraine is through, we made it to the WC, finally and I look forward to watching our team in Germany (hopefully live)! Go Ukraine! P.S. I hated to watch Russia's games (all but the Greece in Euro-04). Last edited by ukrainian_CA; 02-02-2006 at 17:57. |

Russian team needs a constant normal coach, not like Yartsev...someone who ll support the team, help them to get together, develop team work and trust. It is easy to put dirt on a team, but a lot more difficult to help. (be very careful, I am a patriot...   )

I rooted for Russians in the world and euro cups. I am a russian citizen and reside in Moscow once I travel to Russia which I do almost annualy. Also, I have some other interest there too. I have nothing against your Zenit (though I cherish memories of Zenit getting trounced 5-1 or 6-1 on the snow in Piter in Nov. 86 which I attended) and your beautiful city that I love much more than the capital. I actually love Kiev almost as much. So, please refrain from generalizing personal conclusions. Most of them are off anyway. Last edited by ukrainian_CA; 01-02-2006 at 23:27. |
