Euro 2012 in Ukraine

[manteli40]

who is going to visit Ukraine during EURO 2012?
Do you already have real plans to visit Ukraine for the EURO 2012 games?
And what do you think about the locations?
Are you just planning to come for 1 game or will you stay during the whole tournament?

I'll be there during 2012 but it won't be for any games. Family and travel but no soccer. I don't get excited about any professional games here either.

Well, I am thinking of going anyway. even when my own national team lost its chance to participate it. I hope there will be audience for all the games, and I have a feeling that there will be, because it is a special event for Europe to have the EURO games in a totally new ground - and in a place where football is highly appreciated.

Watch out for the bus: Ukraine's deputy PM is driving

LVIV, Ukraine — Ukraine's deputy prime minister may have a hard time moonlighting as a chauffeur in another life, after crashing into a police car while driving a bus in the western city of Lviv.

Charged with overseeing the Euro-2012 football championships which Ukraine is organising with Poland, Deputy Prime Minister Boris Kolesnikov arrived in Lviv to examine buses manufactured by a local factory to be used during the matches.

Minutes after taking the wheel for a spin around the area, Kolesnikov hit a police car parked nearby, dragging it some 20 metres (65 feet).

Although the police car was empty and nobody was hurt, a bumper was mangled and a light smashed in the incident.

"What happened?" Kolesnikov asked, in the presence of several reporters.

"Nothing serious, drive on," a factory executive replied.

The chauffeur of the bus, however, was not amused.

"How can anybody drive like that?" he asked. "One must take the size of the bus into account."

It just seems relevant. :-) Why would he physically drive a bus to test them? Will he be testing out the planes next?
