What to do while in Ukraine

Soccer, like most sports, is a team game which, in the vaguest definition, revolves around 11 players who must work together in a series of carved out positions and tactics to enable the most efficient means of obtaining and exploiting a small leather ball to allow them to win a game. However, as the sport has grown in size, strength and speed over the past 20 years, the modern game no longer allows the primitive notion of a single 11 players exclusively holding the right to dictate the manner in which their side either succeeds or fails. Such a concept manifests itself most evidently through cup competitions in which a single squad group of players are constantly hit with injuries, form and the ever-changing face, size and tactics of their next opponent. For a side like Germany – one of the favorites for the European Championships – most consider their strength in midfield or their continental goalscorers as the key to their prominence, but few consider the advantage they h

Group A: Czech Republic, Poland, Greece, Russia Russia While Andrey Arshavin is the known star of the squad, Russia has a brilliant goalie in Igor Akinfeev, a pacy winger in ex-Chelsea man, Zhirkov, and great forwards in Spurs striker Roman Pavlyuchenko and Fulham striker Pavel Pogrebnyak. I believe Russia will qualify for the next round, but do they really have the belief that they can win this tournament? I don't think so. Euro 2008 was their best shot at international honors and this group's "win tournament" tag has expired. Russia is clever with their movement in the final third but they just don't have that extra magic that Spain has to compensate for their lack of true team speed. I predict a quarterfinal berth at best for Russia as they have to play the runner up from Group B in the next round, which will likely be Portugal or the Netherlands. Key player: Andrey Arshavin. Breakout star: Alan Dzagoev. Poland Poland counts on Robert Lewandowski
