Ukraine - forget Gas problems - World Cup Victory in sight


"If we beat the Italians and they triple gas prices, I don't even think anyone would notice," says Vassyl Androsenko, a 52-year-old engineer in Kiev.

"We are not dark horses. We are the Ukrainian national team," declared Ukraine coach Oleh Blokhin, a former Soviet player who is worshipped by his team and nation of 47 million. "I understand we are not Argentina or Brazil, or one of those teams, but we made the quarterfinals.

"We've not stopped here. I'm not satisfied so far. We have a game against Italy. I understand Italy is the favorite but there are two teams on the pitch and we developed an appetite and we will try to win."
