Comments on: Tymoschuk Destined For Germany, Eventually http://ukraine.worldcupblog.org/world-cup-2010/tymoschuk-destined-for-germany-eventually.html World Cup 2006 - Germany Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:31:00 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Marko Jevhenijovich http://ukraine.worldcupblog.org/world-cup-2010/tymoschuk-destined-for-germany-eventually.html/comment-page-1#comment-63827 Marko Jevhenijovich Sat, 07 Feb 2009 14:31:49 +0000 http://ukraine.worldcupblog.org/world-cup-2010/tymoschuk-destined-for-germany-eventually.html#comment-63827 I do never talk about patriotic issues, but the fast is, that Nikita was, is and will always be UKRAINIAN. He will never be an Australian. That's the fact. For me the FA of Australia stole our player who left his country at the age of 14. Ukraine educated him in playing football. He didn't start to play this sport in Australia. Ukraine has every right to make him play for his native country. It's a horror. I currently live in a country, where the national football team is 90% non-swiss. Isn't it great? So why don't we change the modus of the world cup. Instead of letting nations play against each other, let's take clubs. Countries like Germany, Switzerland AND AUSTRALIA almost do not have any own football players. Ukraine has them. Ukraine managed to enter the world cup 2k6 with almost a 100% Ukrainian team. I do never talk about patriotic issues, but the fast is, that Nikita was, is and will always be UKRAINIAN.

I have no idea whether an effort has been made to bring in these kids or not, but if they were indeed approached by the Ukrainian FA, it would be a hard sell. For example, Nikita Rukavitsya has already gone to the Olympics, and has a better chance to play in a World Cup with Australia. What exactly can Ukraine offer him to match that? Do you think appealing to the patriotic spirit of a boy whose parents left Ukraine for financial reasons is going to work? I doubt it.

I want this guy finally to play for Ukraine, he is a great left defender, super speed and technics, even AC Milan wanted to buy him. About Koman and Rukavitsya I am really angry with the whole Ukrainian Football Association. It is no problem to make them play for Ukraine, to tell them that they're important for our Sbirna. Koman and Rukavitya also would like to play for a nation that has a future in football. What future do they have with Hungary and Australia? These are non football nations. We need such guys as Koman and Rukavitsya, I hope Michailichenko finally starts to work to get them back!!!! Yevy, they're not only Ukrainian born, they're completely Ukrainians! Their parents are Ukrainians and so on! Yes one reason against Fedoriv could be, that his club actually only started to prepare for next season.

As for Rukavytsya and Koman, although Ukrainian born they have represented Australia and Hungary, respectively, at the junior level and seem on course to make full national team debuts with those countries. I don't feel too bad for Zenit, seeing as they can afford to buy anyone who is willing to play for them (not that they couldn't before, as evidenced by the €30 million splashed out for Danny). Replacing Tymoschuk's leadership is a whole other story, however. Not sure why Fedoriv got omitted.

What about that dark haired guy, think was a defender, Rusol or Ruslan or something. He was good. Reminded me of Italy's Gattuso.
