Dugout Discussion – Germany vs Ukraine

We conclude Sunday’s events with a floodlit clash between Germany and Ukraine in Group C.

Germany will undoubtedly be considered favourites to begin their campaign with a victory. However, question mark remains over Joachim Löw’s side in a number of positions and their form on arrival in France is far from convincing. Defeats to England and Slovakia in pre-tournament friendlies has raised doubts in the German camp.

Their opponents will head into the contest with some confidence. Ukraine have won nine of their last 13 outings, with victories in their last four. A 1-0 reverse at the hands of Spain has been their only setback in this impressive spell.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Sad you havent been back to this site for a while but listen mate and listen good. I would guess you are quite young and blatant lying doesn't go down too well. Just come back on , apologise for the lies and things will just change and everyone will move on . Just learn from it.

          Yes but I guess he is a bit young and immature TM. If that's the case he should be given the benefit of the doubt. He deserved what he got at the time but I guess that he hasn't been on since because of it. Lots of people have made bad judgements on here re comments made including myself on a number of occasions but sometimes it is necessary to admit that you have made an error. It would be sad to not give him a second chance.

            Chances are he won't see this so it's probably pointless. Maybe he just wanted a break to reflect or is just busy.
