WC 2006

I'm changing Ukraine's status for WC 2006 to "Round 1". It's as far as they'll ever get with that performance. The Frederick 15:39, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm changing it back because they can still qualify for round 2.  SLUMGUM  yap  stalk  16:02, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Not bloody likely The Frederick 10:26, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Haha, and ten days later they qualify for the quarter finals. I love when biased people change an entry because they think they know what's going to happen and then are proven utterly wrong about it. --Stevefarrell 10:36, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I thoroughly enjoyed that. -Iopq 16:52, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm Ukrainian, I'm allowed to be pessimistic The Frederick 11:07, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't matter what your opinion is, you're not allowed to put any information like that until the result is final and true, otherwise it's vandalism. Xioyux 19:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

It's the frogs, I tell you. -Iopq 19:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Kits

The Ukrainian kits are yellow with blue decorations and blue with yellow decorations, home and away respectively. The spikes are just a fashionable decoration of the technical sponsor, not the true patterns of Ukrainian team.

Revert to the plain yellow/blue version.--Kwame Nkrumah 00:03, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Looks like you have already started a discussion here, Kwame Nkrumah/Spunti, [1]. --Palffy 17:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

You deserve no answer.--Kwame Nkrumah 18:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I have unprotected the page so the team can still be updated, but I ask that you two take the jersey issue back to the template talk page and refrain from further edit warring. Thanks. Cowman109^Talk 03:19, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

That is, you are endorsing the current version. Nice.--Kwame Nkrumah 12:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Wording

Hey, Palffy I put and many other cities, meaning Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv. Aren't those cities that also will accept Euro'12 games as well? It's just the way you say it sounds that there are no other cities with good stadiums. Please, let me know what you think. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 04:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I just didn't like the wording earlier, so I hope you are content with the current edit. I also made a mistake in my previous edit regarding which tourney UNT failed to qualify for, but this was corrected by the previous editor... --Palffy 05:48, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Wording

I don't like the following wording:

In their first World Cup (2006 FIFA World Cup), in which they received a 'favourable' group of Spain and 2 tournament 'outsiders' Tunisia and Saudi Arabia , Ukraine reached the knock-out round where they met another 'outsider' Switzerland...

Way too many outsiders for a World Cup tournament, no? Tunis was the Champion of Africa, the groups was not more favourable than half of other groups, Switzerland beaten future runner-up France at group stage, and, the last but not the least, "outsider" and "favourable" are not neutral points OlexiyO (talk) 17:48, 10 July 2008 (UTC) OlexiyO

I think there is no question Spain was the strongest of the four. I think it is fine to say that some squads were weaker than others. FWIW, today's FIFA rankings are Spain 1, Ukraine 29, Tunisia 47, Saudi Arabia 49, Switzerland 45. I understand they were different in 2006, but you get the idea. Kulikovsky (talk) 18:07, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't see why do you mention Spain. Yes, obviously Spain was the strongest because they won the group, so what? In a similar way, all other group winners were the strongest teams in their respective groups.

And I don't agree with other your points - it is fine to say that some teams are weaker than others ONLY if you can compare them, but there is no way (Tunisia & Saudi) are so much weaker than teams in other groups (Ecuador & Costa Rica) or (Korea & Togo) or (Angola & Iran) or (Australia & Japan) or (Paraguay & Trinidad). So group H wasn't weaker than any of 5 other groups, and only 2 groups (E and C) were harder. Regarding Switzerland - they've won their World Cup group with future runner-up France in it. How do they suddenly become "outsiders"? OlexiyO (talk) 18:53, 10 July 2008 (UTC) OlexiyO

New Adidas Kits

It's been at least 2 months since Ukraine was first seen in their new, 2009, Adidas kits, yet the page still shows the 2006 kits. I have no idea how to do the whole svg-transparent-image-thing, so if someone who does know that stuff could, I think Ukrainian supporters, and just anyone coming to this page in general, would appreciate it. The kits can be seen here --24.150.27.219 (talk) 02:52, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it is not easy to create the kits and even though I've attempted to reproduce the kits as per the new ones that are shown in the link supplied there still seems to be a need for customization of the body with a snake like thin sash. Anyway the strip does look like adidas so thats good enough for the time being. Brudder Andrusha (talk) 18:33, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Goalies Coach of Ukraine is Mykhaylo Mykhaylov?

According to the Dynamo website he isn't, according to the website of FFU he is.... Does anybody knows he is or is not?
— Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 22:50, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

I think that there is no coaching staff right now, as Blokhin said recently that he will come up with a new one. Just keep track with the news, we should find out within a week or two.--BoguslavM 05:13, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

OK, thanks and we will wait then... — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 17:15, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

but I think that Mykhailov is only working in Dynamo Kyiv right now, and Kalitvintsev's gk coach was Markevych's choice of Krakovskiy.--BoguslavM 01:00, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
