I have to stress I don't know how this works in the Ukraine, from what I see on tv it looks like a nightmare ... but then again I can see similar things about Poland and I know they're not true. Makes one wonder.

Like anywhere it depends on where you live, if you live in a stable socio-economic environment then these things are not really an issue, if you live in a deprived area then you're more likely to witness these kind of crimes. The Ukraine based on what I know, is well below Poland on a socio-economic level and for that reason will probably suffer from the stuff we're talking about. Another issue concerning the Ukraine that has also been documented by the media, is the situation of the street kids in the Ukraine that live in terrible conditions.

England now lose Frank Lampard for the finals and will be replaced by Jordan Henderson, I've seen some poor player getting capped for England in the past but Henderson has to be one of the worst.

I have been an england fan since the early 90's. I know we will lose, probably on penalties and have my song ready to share on FB (Oasis, Stop Crying your Heart Out) BUT being an england fan, there is this annoying niggle deep in my heart that has complete faith that we will win everything so I will go to the pub in a minute, deal with the wretched emotional journey and get back to the music when it all goes horribly wrong.
