Maksym Dehtyarenko,
chemistry student
“I am a fan of Germany and
I am really glad that they have reached the final. I can’t judge but I
think that the German machine will beat Argentina. They have great
teamwork, style and prominent football players.”
Alla Kovtun,
manufacturing engineer
“We root for the Ukrainian team, but this time I supported Italy. This championship has such unpredictable results, so it is hard to make forecasts. As for me, the political events have surpassed the sport and football news in Ukraine.”
Oleksandr Stupak,
student
“I like football and am a fan of Ukraine. As they do not show Ukraine now, I support Argentina. (Lionel) Messi is the best.”
Aliona Yarovaya,
medical worker
“I am not a football fan actually, but sometimes girls need to be a bit cunning and pretend they like the game. Football is fairly the same trick as a push-up bra or make-up. As for the World Cup, I am not up on football now because I don’t have a man for whom I would like to make this effort. I just know that Germany severely beat Brazil last time. But as usual I support Shakhtar because I am from the Donbas.”
Ihor Bendyuh,
bank lawyer
“We follow football and support the local team Dynamo-Kyiv and the Ukrainian national team. We do not have any evident favorites this time. But we were against Russia. There’s a saying that ‘everybody plays, Germany wins,’ so I expect that Germany will become champion.”
