Thank you but as I said I am Argentine living in Australia
Yes it is a nice country though it is virtually drying up of water that is.
As far as football is concerned my allegiance is with Argentina since in the thirty years I lived here no Australian ever talked to me about football and all of the sudden there are experts coming out of the woodwork. What an irony!
Still I hope it stays although playing against Italy will be hard game to win.
As far as Ukraine yes I am avid supporter though somewhat dissapointed at the time wasting and playing safe in their own area and midfield for me the best player so far have been Voronin and Tymoshuk can't say the same thing for Shevchenko. I thought they would have learned a good lesson after the trashing Spain gave Ukraine but does not seem to sank in so far I hope they will make some progress and show some world cup standard play next time.
