Hard Win For Hellas
Ukraine 0 v 1 Greece

Dimitris Salpingidis derailed Ukraine's plans for a trip to SA next year

Right from the start, the Ukrainians went at Greece like a nuclear train heading full speed for a reactor and that is exactly how it ended for them… in disaster! After missing a host of early chances to go ahead, a clever Greek style* through ball by Giorgios Samaras found Dimitris Salpingidis unmarked on the edge of the box and he didn’t need much to derail any plans the Ukrainian’s may have had of heading to South Africa next year. Devastated to be knocked out, I now wonder if Andrei Shevchenko will now get a hair cut retire from international football!?

* = around the back or “apo piso” (in Greek)
