it’s the player’s job to sneak in little things like handballs and fouls behind the ref’s back, if a player does it successfully without the ref noticing, he’s a sly player, so theres no point in what ’shoulda’ been a card or a penalty kick, it shoulda but it didnt, those of you who watch hockey know that goes on all the time also, it’s part of the game, oops

tunisia ’shoulda’ gotten a second penalty kick on them btw, the ref either didnt see it or pretended he didnt see it, so it didnt happen, oh well

to radix !
“He did miss voronin’s hand, but it wasn’t intentional, would have been a free kick in the worst case, imho.” do you know football? When a player stand in the wall, with hi hand high in the sky, what was his attention? to pray god ?! free kick ??? what the H. are you talking about? this is not a volleyball match. Hopefully, u will be scrued by Swiss next match.

Ukraine played good at the 1st time, but second time was really
disappointing: 10-Tunisia looked better then 11-Ukraine.
Shevchenko’s comment after a match about playing in the second time:
“We played easy and simple, played for result – it is all because the great responsibility the team feel; and it’s a great, really great, achievement for the team first playing on the Worldcup to get the round of 16…”
About the penalty, as Andriy Shevchenko said, commenting the
match in evening football tv-program, it was deserved -
the Tunisia defender knock off Shevchenko’s step making him fall, there was a contact in a penalty area and the penalty was the result.
The luck of Ukraine that the arbiter didn’t notice how Voronin
played hand in penalty area defending Shovkonsky’s net.

The 26th will be really hard day
with Switzerland…

I’ve read some things and heard from commentators that the penalty kick for Ukraine was not deserved: they say Shevchenko tripped over his own feet, but IMO the foul and penalty kick was not for tripping (a tripping would have likely earned a yellow card in addition to the penatly), but for the Tunisia’s defender who was holding Shevchenko by his arm, preventing Sheva from scoring.

please, it was 73 F, i dont know wat that is in celsius. However, it was a perfect day. We were just lazy, and took Tunisia lightly. I think Blokhin should start Milevski. As soon as he got in, we almost scored 2 goals. Happened in the SA game too. Hes a playmaker. START HIM!
