ian1964 10,457 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 With Ukraine having to win the game they will be setting the pace,we are going to have to be patient tomorrow,very similar to the France game,and hit them on the break,which IMO will suit us as that is our strength and is the reason we have done so well so far.Ukraine are a top class side,make no mistake about that,so another excellent defensive performance tomorrow is required. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 With Ukraine having to win the game they will be setting the pace,. Yeah if they dont win then they cant qualify. But this could also go against us in their last game against France. We need them to play as best as possible against France but at the same time we have to end their qualification hopes tomorrow with a win. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whosthedado 1,522 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Scotland picked up their first win of the 2009 Under-21 European Championship qualifying campaign with a comfortable victory over Lithuania at Easter Road. Ross McCormack drilled the Scots into a deserved lead on 44 minutes and Charlie Mulgrew finished strongly from close range soon after. Steven Fletcher found the net with a fantastic finish on the hour. McCormack hit the bar and the margin of victory could have been greater but for visiting goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis. Having lost their opener in Finland and drawn at home to Denmark, it was vital that the young Scots picked up maximum points. They made an impressive start, with Arlauskis saving well from Steven Naismith's stinging long range drive following a well-worked free-kick. And the visiting keeper did very well to claw away a looping header from Gary Kenneth from the resulting corner. The busy Naismith then shot over the crossbar from 20 yards and hit another fierce shot straight at Arlauskis before 10 minutes had passed. The home side lost their way after a blistering opening but finished the first half as they had started by putting the Lithuanians under intense pressure. Arlauskis pushed away Fletcher's header and the Lithuanian made a spectacular stop from McCormack after the Motherwell forward had beaten his man and shot powerfully from a tight angle. However, Arlauskis was eventually beaten when McCormack received a neat return pass from Fletcher and fired first time into the bottom corner from 20 yards. Less than a minute later, McCormack was set free by Kevin McDonald and squared the ball across the six-yard box for Wolves' Mulgrew to slam into an empty net. Lithuania rallied briefly after the interval and Jamie McDonald saved from Georgas Freidgeimas and tipped away a shot from Evaldas Grigaitis after a loose throw-out from the Hearts keeper. But Fletcher put the result beyond doubt with a wonderful goal on 59 minutes. The Hibernian striker collected Naismith's short pass 20 yards out, turned and fired into the bottom corner. McCormack later hit the crossbar with an audacious curling effort as the Scots coasted to victory in Edinburgh. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 What's everyones predictions for tomorrow?I get the impression people are thinking that we'll have an easy time winning against Ukraine. I fear for us tomorrow. It'll be another defensive line-up again which will invite them onto us. Ukraine can't qualify so they'll just go for it. 2-1 Ukraine. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
