"With both teams desperately wanting that coveted spot in the Champions League group stages, this tie should be filled with relentless excitement and passion. Both squads are renowned in their respective countries but only one can ultimately move on."~ Scott Krones http://www.sbrforum.com/Betting+Articles/Sports/15184/champions-league-preview-dynamo-kiev-vs-ajax.aspx
"The team from Holland is none other than Ajax [pronounced I-yax] the greatest Dutch club - multiple times champion of Europe, and arguably one the top ten European club teams, all-time. Dynamo Kiev has won more Soviet championships than any team in the now defunct Soviet league, and has utterly dominated theUkrainian top league since that league was founded in the early nineties. This is the first leg of a home and home elimination match, and must be one of the bigger sporting events in Ukraine this year. Also, I'll be able to watch the game live at 2:45 PM on Fox Soccer Channel."

Needless to say - tonight I will be getting a first-hand taste of European football. If the beer is as cheap as everywhere else I've been - it should be a pretty interesting event. We walked by the stadium a couple of days ago, and it appeared to be pretty cool. They have a large statue for their most famous coach (Valeriy Lobanovskyy) The stadium is named after him, and is situated along side Mariinksy Park - a large and beautiful park with spectacular views -- take a look for yourself.
