After making it to the quarter finals of the last World Cup, Ukraine failed to qualify for the next global soccer championships when it lost at home to Greece last week. Ukraine was in the “group of death” together with England and Croatia, and beat out the Croats in retribution for the 2002 European qualifiers, when the Croats did the same to the Ukes. When Slovenia beat Russia, the number of Slavic countries going to the finals fell even further. Croatia vs Ukraine? Slovenia vs Russia? Obviously, the soccer gods saw it fit to limit the number of Slavs in South Africa to Serbia, Slovenia, and Slovakia: three of thirteen countries who will take to the pitch for Europe in the 32-country global finals.
