I think it will end 1:1, a boring affair with Italy getting a cheap goal early, locking down their defences, and Ukraine snatching a tying goal in the dying seconds. It won’t raise (or lower) the stock in either team leading up to the world Cup. What can help (or harm) Ukraine is the other two games… should be minimum 4:0 vs Libya and Luxembourg.

not sure if Sheva is playing

“Blokhin expected Shevchenko to rejoin the team before they headed off to Switzerland at the end of May. “

3-2 with Italy winning for me, Ukraine’s strike force will be a pain in the ass for Nesta and Cannavaro, but Toni, Gila and possibly Totti will terrorise the Ukrainian defense.

I don’t know how Ukraine will do, but I just hope nobody from either squad gets hurt. As an Italy fan, I believe the Italians will not take Ukraine lightly; Ukraine is a threat.

Of course, it’s just a friendly, right? But rest assured, neither squad will want to go into the cup following a loss… even if it’s “just a friendly.”
