As usual, great interviews again Max! And with a hangover too. ;-) Maybe Lars will buy you some Jaeger bombs after ...

Haha well if he starts in goal then I'd show up at the Kyev version of Sherlock Holmes with your fingers crossed.

RE: Edgar

He's got a bit of an accent. But considering the man has lived in Newcastle and Burnley for the majority of his adolescent and adult life, safe to say he's not faking it. If anything he was telling me he was conscious about not wanting to sound too British.

RE: Pacheco

Speaks enough English to say hello, but not enough to do a video interview.

Article talking about how Ukrainians and Canadians have met before at the 1986 World Cup and 1976 Olympics, where pretty much the whole Soviet Team was made up of Ukrainians, including the coach Valeri Lobanovsky. During Mexico 86, where Canada lost 2-0, both goals were scored by Ukrainians. Article also mentions how Canada has a large number of Ukrainian immigrants (diaspora). It's also mentioned that a touring team of Canadian players from BC toured the Soviet Union in the 60's (I have a matchday program from one of these games), tied with Avanhard Kharkiv 2:2, Lost to Shakhtar Donetsk 2:1. Also mentions Dynamo Kyiv's "unfortunate" encounter with Tomasz Radzinski and Anderlecht in the Champions League during the 2000/2001 CL campaign.

Game will be telecast on Inter, starting at 20:45 local time.

What a night in Kiev! Many different angles and stories to the game tonight, a lot to digest...

My match report was just e-mailed to the guys in Toronto it should be up at www.rednationonline.ca shortly.

I also have the usual video exclusives with Stephen Hart, Atiba Hutchinson and Simeon Jackson on the way.

First videos should be popping up within an hour!

Hope you guys had a decent web-stream at home.

Cheers,

Final post of the thread from me.

I have written an article reflecting on Canada's performance in Kiev, 'Kiev collapse speaks to lack of confidence', it's up at now at http://www.rednationonline.ca

I have also put together the first of what I hope will become a series of videos. It's called 'Match Day in 90 Seconds'. As the name presumes, the videos will try to give some atmospheric/behind-the-scenes insight into what goes on in and around the stadium.

The first one for the Ukraine match can be found at:

Finally a HUGE thank you to all the viewers and readers. I am really glad this stuff is being well received back at home.

I am going to be appearing on the Score radio to discuss the match at 12:30PM Eastern, you can listen here if you are interested:

Signing off for now. Thanks again,

MB
