Group H
UKRAINE
World Cup participations: none
Greatest World Cup achievement: none
Ukraine has made its way in the hardest group with Euro 2004
winner Greece, Turkey and Denmark. That means that
you also have to take Ukraine into account at the world cup.
Although the team of legend Oleg Blochin has not that many stars
except captain Andrej Shevchenko of AC Milan, Voronin of Bayer Leverkusen
or Timoshchuk of Shakhtjor Donetsk.
The strength of Ukraine is clearly in the attack around superstar
Shevchenko who with pace assertiveness, technique and goal instinct
can bring any defence in the world into danger.
Question will be if he gets enough balls to score goals.
Ukraine can certainly survive the group stage if they can confirm
the performances of the qualification, but if they really will enter
the semi-finals like coach Oleg Blochin has promised to the fans??
If you have some courage, you could bet on group winner Ukraine.
The odds on Ukraine as world cup winner were rather high
- 41.0 at Betandwin.
For a bet on group winner Ukraine you get 3.20.
