And a new victory tonight for Ukraine and 3 teams for the next competion year !

So my favorite game of prediction :

Actual coeff for Ukraine : 7,100

With "bad future" :
- Kiev : 0pts in CL + 2pts in Uefa cup
- Donetsk : 2pts in 3rd round
- Dniepr : 2pts in 3rd round
Finish year with 8,300

With "good future"
- Kiev : 1pt ( bonus 1) + 3pts in 2nd round (bonus 1)+ 1pt in quater CL
- Donetsk : 3pts in uefa 3rd + 2pts in 4th round + 1pt in quater
- Dniepr : 3pts in uefa 3rd as seeding team + 2pts in 4th round + 1pt in quater
Finish year with 10,900

Just with a top in quater of final
Imagine with more ...

don't forget about a bonus point for reaching 1/4 UEFA CUp.

Based purely on coefficients, Ukraine get six more points and so extrapolate out to 8.300 this year on my spreadsheet.

I think three from Dnipro, four from Kyiv and 3 from Shakthar is very realistic given current form.

That would be 9.1 for the season...

And some of us were sceptical to Ukraine campaign this year because of their (extra) FairPlay-team Shame on us!

Without Illichivets (FP-team) Ukraine would have had 8,250 points now. But what the heck!!

That's what Celtic has become without H. Larsson - two big, good strikers but no spark and creativity in attack, when they score goals they're all out of the handbook.

Congratulations Shakhtar, such a shame that Agahowa had to get his leg to the ball and it wasn't Lewandowski who scored the goal

Can anybody from Ukraine explain this to me:
A Dutch commentator said during the match of Shaktar that Shaktar played in Orange, the colors of the opposition.
But I thought Shaktar is from the Eastern, Russion-oriented part of Ukraine? And thay always play in that color, don't they? I found it a stupid remark, that there was no reason to make this connection.
Congratulation ofcourse to Ukrainian teams. Sorry for Kiew to not make it to the CL. But it is better for their coefficient, I'm afraid.

Ricardo, I can explain...
It`s the same thing that phrase after DK-Roma game "Dynamo won only(!) thanksgiving to orange ball" what was very popular in "fair" press & TV; sententions about "Shakhtar won't play in their orange T-shorts" or "Ihor Surkis payed to Roma for they played in blcak not orange" and other stupidity...
That's our opposition - do you enjoy it?
Many people in Western countries are. Me not. Who is correct??? And what are the arguments???
Politics is suxxx - let's turn it AWAY from football!

About a question from Ricardo...have to agree with Artml - it's either another stupid remark from a commentator or he was just trying to be funny... Orange - is the color Shahtar's t-shirts and it's been like that since I remember this team ( at least for the past 20 yrs ).... Back then their was no independent Urkaine neither there was any opposition.

I agree with both of you, football is good enough without all the background - let's stick to Ukraine getting at least 11.5 points at the end of the year - doesn't matter if it's Dnipro, Dinamo or Shakhtar.

Maybe the Ukrainian contributors here can confirm if it's right what I read in German football press?
Dynamo's colours are blue-white, but the majority of Kiev's people support Jushchenko (English spelling?) which means orange.
Shakhtjar's colous are orange but the people there in majority support Janukovitch which means blue-white.
