NEWS HEADLINE ACROSS KIEV: Ukraine Wins 2006 FIFA World Cup!!!
It's enough that they've made it this far, but what are the odds that Ukraine will go all the way to win the 2006 FIFA World Cup? Try 45/1. Preposterous, right? Remember Greece in Euro 2004? They pulled off one of the biggest football upsets in football/soccer history by beating World Cup quartefinalists Portugal 1-0 to win Euro 2004.
For the Ukraine, this is their first-ever trip to the World Cup quarterfinals, and they did it by beating Switzerland Monday night in a shootout. However, they may have a much harder time against the Italians on Friday. The defense has recovered since the opening rout against the Spaniards. But Ukraine showed so little until the shootout in the second round that beating Italy might be too formidable a task for the first-time qualifier.
