England drawn in Donetsk where I have all my tickets. England vs France and Ukraine vs England. Abso-fecking-lutelu ecstatic!
Fair enough! Not sure why? Yep, the England team are a bunch of cnuts, so what? The atmosphere is going to be cracking, and in any case, France are a much bigger bunch of cnuts.
England are in Donetsk for the first and last games against France and Ukraine respectively. The middle game on June 15th I think is in Kiev vs Sweden, I've got tickets for Ukraine v France that day. I've also got the quarters and semis in Donetsk so need England to finish second if possible! Have a nasty feeling we'll win the group though!
It's not quite that random! I have relatives in Donetsk, so was always going to get tickets there regardless of the games. Still, has properly come up trumps!
I may go over for a game, spent two weeks in Germany at the World Cup and used to follow England all over, this may be the comeback game.
Genuinely pleased for you, that is some result. Fully expecting to see some kind of BFC flag there now though ... No pressure.
I've got my Soviet Union flag with BFC Leningrad written on it! It's not very big, but will try to dig it out! I wonder if I'll be the only Russian-speaking England fan in the stadium when we play Ukraine?!
Weighed in as well mate. Got tickets for ..... England v France in Donetsk England v Sweden in Kiev France v Sweden in Kiev (which we'll flog to raise funds for hotel accommodation*) * bribes, vodka & ladies of the night
Not sure you'll be the only Russian speaking England fan, but certainly the only Russian speaking Barnsley fan in the stadium, which is a bigger feat obviously
I was thinking that actually! I'm not the only Russian speaking Barnsley fan on the planet though, there was a guy who used to run a bar here as well, though he's since moved to Bratislava!
