Profile:
Having originally been a part of the old USSR, the Ukraine football team have had minor success on an international level since the formation of the team. Although they have come close on a number of occasions they have never quite managed notable results in the World Cup competition, always failing in the early stages. The Ukraine team is now under the leadership of Oleg Blokhin who has formed a strong team and made a huge difference to the sides game. Andriy Shevchenko, AC Milan's goal-getter, has played a vital role to date in the World Cup 2006 title quest. With an appetite for achievement in 2006 the Ukraine team is proving to be a formidable opponent throughout the competition, having already made it through the play offs, their usual stumbling block. This team is showing real determination and we wouldn't be surprise if they sail through the early stages this time round. There are some great odds on individual matches for this quality Ukranian side.
