Cristiano Ronaldo forgotten at Donetsk airport.

Portugal’s most expensive player, Cristiano Ronaldo, has missed the plane taking his team mates home from Ukraine after their semi-final exit at Euro 2012. "The organizers of the flight asked me if I wanted to sit in the tail of the plane. And I said: ‘yes’,”  Cristiano told the Ukraine-2012 information center.  “Sometimes I sit in first, second or third zone. But I agreed to fly in the fifth. Then I went to a cafe to buy a bun, and the plane took off without me. It's not fair! " Portuguese head coach, Paulo Bento, said that he noticed the absence of his star when it was too late, so Ronaldo had to spend several hours in the Donetsk airport.   "Buying than bun was a mistake,"  the Real Madrid player laughed. Portugal lost to Spain on penalties in Euro 2012 semis, but Ronaldo is still leading the top player rankings at the tournament. The 25-year-old has scored three goals in five appearances at the European championships and was named the Man

Euro 2012 Brings Ukraine Closer to Europe

P OLAND-UKRAINE BORDER - The Euro 2012 football tournament is well underway in Poland and Ukraine.  It can take some 20 hours to cross between the two countries - so the co-hosted tournament presents unique challenges on the border as fans follow their teams from one city to the next.  With around 1 million football (soccer) fans expected to cross the Polish and Ukrainian frontier during the European Championship, border authorities on both sides are cooperating in a rare show of unity. Ukrainian guards check passports on Polish territory. Special lanes allow fans to bypass the normal traffic. Guards with the EU’s border agency Frontex are posted here to help out. Dutch police officer René Hugen is at the Medyka crossing. “The people are reminded, I think approximately 2 or 3 kilometers before the border, to choose the right lane so the delay for them will be as low as possible," said Hugen. Border guards are on the look out for human traffickers taking advantage of the simplifie

Samir Nasri Told Reporter “F*ck You” After France Loss to Spain

France and Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri can be a prickly fellow. After France lost 2-0 to Spain, eliminating them from Euro 2012, he was not in the mood to speak to reporters gathered in the mix zone. Here is Reuters’  recap of the incident . Asked by a reporter for a quote, he answered: “You are looking for shit, you are looking for trouble.” The reporter replied: “Get lost.” Nasri then turned back and said “fuck you” followed by a stream of further abuse, inviting the reporter to have a conversation with him man-to-man. Nasri undoubtedly was frustrated at both the loss and having been surprisingly benched from the French starting XI. That said, earning $288,000 per week to play soccer for a living absolves someone of any hardships that would mollify being a total asshole to someone just trying to do his/her job.

Chinese football fan, 26, dies after going ELEVEN nights without sleep as he watched every single Euro 2012 match

-Time difference means matches are played in the middle of the night -Jiang Xiaoshan would then go and do a full day's work the next day -Sources said drinking and smoking weakened his immune system -He was supporting England and France in the tournament A Chinese football fan died after going 11 nights without sleep as he tried to watch every single kick of the ball of Euro 2012. Jiang Xiaoshan, said to be supporting England and France in the tournament, died of exhaustion on Tuesday morning. Because of the time difference, he reportedly stayed up each night with friends and then went to work the following day. Following the Ireland versus Italy match, www.Sina.com said he went back to his Changsha home at 5am on Tuesday, had a shower, fell asleep and never woke up. Friends said the news of his death came as a shock, as he lived a 'relatively healthy life', and had played football for his university team just a couple of years before. Following the Irel

Euro 2012 Offers Relief For Eurozone Countries In Crisis

Image
ATHENS, Greece -- Chancellor Angela Merkel watched Germany weather the storm and emerge with flying colors, while other European countries simply floundered. Only this time, it wasn't a test of economic strength in the ailing eurozone. It was the first round of the European Championship – a soccer extravaganza lasting 3 1/2 weeks that dishes out elation and disappointment to millions of people from the Irish Sea to the Chinese border. Just as Germany has enjoyed growth while other eurozone economies have sunk into recession, its team has emerged unscathed from arguably the toughest group at the tournament after beating Portugal, the Netherlands and Denmark. However, Germany hasn't been the only one to prosper at Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine. Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain may be struggling with waves of government austerity drives, high unemployment and either the prospect or the reality of embarrassing bailouts, but their soccer teams are doing just fine.

France reaches Euro 2012 quarters despite 2-0 loss to Sweden

Image
Sweden fan holds fake dead french cock. KIEV, Ukraine — France was outplayed, outfought and outscored, and that was against a team with nothing to play for. With world champion Spain now waiting in the quarterfinals of the European Championship, things better improve quickly for the French to stand a chance of going any further. France limped into the knockout round of Euro 2012 despite a 2-0 loss to Sweden in their final group game, showing just how much the team still needs to improve to be true contenders in the tournament. The French finished second in Group D after England beat Ukraine 1-0, and will face Spain on Saturday in the quarterfinals. “You have to be optimistic to think that we can beat Spain, but it’s hard right now to imagine that we can. We have to do better on Saturday,” France coach Laurent Blanc said. “We wanted to finish top of the group but couldn’t manage it, so we have to deal with that.” France’s 23-game unbeaten streak came to a crashing en

Shevchenko wants to play 1 last Ukraine match

Image
The Ukraine captain confirmed his competitive career was over after a 1-0 loss to England on Tuesday, which eliminated his team from the European Championship. However, Shevchenko wants to play one last match for his country to thank his fans for their support throughout his career. "If it's possible, I will play one more game,'' Shevchenko said. "It will probably be one of the friendlies. I will ask for the organization of this match.'' It wasn't a fitting end to his 111-match international career in which he scored 48 goals - more than three times as many as any other Ukrainian player. Shevchenko didn't start the must-win match for Ukraine because of a left knee injury and came on as a substitute in the 70th minute. Fans chanted "Sheva, Sheva'' but he couldn't help the team mount a comeback. Long before Euro 2012, Shevchenko announced that the tournament would be his last after persistent knee and back problems wei

Campbell you are wrong about Donetsk.

Fans brought to the city center a symbolic coffin in which the Englishman was sitting in a mask of former England captain Sol Campbell. The ex-captain of the "three lions" Campbell  said that from the Ukraine, you can return in a coffin. But the English fans like Ukraine  here very much   and they are so ashamed of his countryman and support  hospitable U krainians.

Russian national team players almost came to fight with their fans

Russian national team players after the defeat of Greece in the third round of Euro 2012 almost came to fight with their fans in a hotel in Warsaw. This was reported by the journalist of the newspaper Soviet Sport, Alexander Zilbert, who witnessed the incident. "A couple of hours after the game at the team I was a witness unspeakable random scenes. Drunk, and extremely wealthy fans (and others can not live in the same hotel where the room costs about 600 euros) in the face insulted and humiliated the Russian players. The status of the elite guests, apparently, was so high (one of them saluted the title of deputy State of Duma (Russian parlament)), which is even present at the incident, security officials RAF could not do anything with him. As a result, the players, in particular, Arshavin and Sharonov, did defend their honor and dignity. "- he said. It should be noted that head coach Dick Advocaat, and President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Sergei Fursenko did not

Activists FEMEN found in the morgue hospital in Donetsk. June 16 at 01.05 FEMEN activists came to us from the hospital morgue in Donetsk, where they were held by employees of the Security Service of Ukraine for the medical examination for the absence of the beating. According to Alexander Shevchenko, all three activists, who left a share, were captured by special forces of the SBU with brute force in different parts of the city of Donetsk. Surveillance of activists was conducted immediately after their arrival at the South Busstation Terminal City.

UEFA fined the Russian football association 120,000 euros.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Russia could be deducted six points in its qualifying group for the next European Championship if its fans turn violent again at Euro 2012. UEFA fined the Russian football association 120,000 euros ($150,000) on Wednedsay because its fans attacked stadium stewards at a match last week in Poland. UEFA also gave the federation a suspended six-point deduction for a repeat offense. “This decision is suspended for a probationary period running from now until the end of the playoffs of the next UEFA European Football Championship,” UEFA said in a statement. Russia can appeal the verdict within three days. Russian fans were filmed fighting with stadium staff in Wroclaw after a 4-1 win over the Czech Republic last Friday. Police said violence flared when stewards tried to detain a man they believed threw a firecracker. Four stewards were treated at a hospital but were not seriously injured. Russia’s fine was also imposed by UEFA’s disciplinary panel b

Euro 2012: The Two Sides of Russia's Andrei Arshavin

Image
Andrei Arshavin came to my attention at Euro 2008 the same way a man might find a beautiful woman in a dimly lit bar shortly after a breakup. Back then he got my mind off all that was wrong with Arsenal and offered the promise of something better. And as I watched him on Tuesday, in  Russia’s 1-1 draw against Poland , I was reminded of why I once fell for him and why we simply can never be. Arshavin was the most exciting player at Euro 2008, and on the back of his swashbuckling play Russia made it to the semifinals. By the time he scored against Holland in the quarterfinals I was drooling lustily over the prospect of seeing him in an Arsenal shirt. Arsenal had lost the iconic talents of Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry and become a nursery for Europe’s best teenaged talents. They were good enough to play exciting football but lacking the experience and grit to win close matches in the same manner of the great Gunners teams from earlier in the decade. On the evidence of Euro 200

Why no Auschwitz visit for French Euro 2012 team.

Image
The leader of the French Jewish umbrella organisation has expressed surprise that his country's football team did not visit Auschwitz ahead of the Euro 2012 tournament in Poland. Several members of the England team spent the day at Auschwitz or visiting other Holocaust sites in Krakow ahead of the opening of the European competition. Teams from Italy, the Netherlands and Germany also organised visits. But the French team, which played England in a one-all draw on Monday, is based in the Ukraine and did not arrange a similar visit. Noting that England had taken a step ahead of France, CRIF president Dr Richard Prasquier wrote on the organisation's website that the lack of a visit was "shocking". He acknowledged that a visit was more difficult for the French team, which is based in Donetsk in the Ukraine, than for the teams based in Krakow. "But the plane shortens distances and the fact that the visit does not seem to have been considered is shocking

Ukraine Party Ruined As Soccer Highlights Orange Revolt Flop

Image
Ukraine hoped the European soccer championships would showcase its progress since the  Soviet Union  collapsed. Instead, it’s shining the spotlight on accusations of political repression, graft and aging infrastructure. Almost eight years after the bloodless Orange Revolution propelled the country toward closer European integration, the bloc’s leaders are boycotting the tournament, which culminates July 1 in Kiev. They say democratic values have slipped since President  Viktor Yanukovych  took over in 2010, dislodging the leaders of the protests that overran the capital’s main square. That’s left Ukraine’s leader, who’s struggling to secure cheaper energy imports from traditional ally Russia and unlock international aid, looking isolated at a time when the economy is losing steam. Halfway into his five-year term, credit markets signal a 44 percent chance of a Ukrainian default, while Societe Generale SA predicts the hryvnia will be devalued. “Euro 2012 is definitely a chan
