I know we have a few people here from both these countries and I bet they're nervous for this match. I'd say both teams really need 3 points here.

The official Ukrainian shirt for this game. Slight problem: that's not Romania's flag...
Big "good evening Budapest" energy haha
Good, some far right morons in some ultras groups were stopped from coming. They don't usually fight or anything like that, they're just stupid.Apparently many Romanian Ultras we not let in the country and some have been arrested.
Not receiving a refund for purchased tickets? I'd sueNot that there isn't still some potential, but bigger hooligan incidents at Euros have usually involved Russians so maybe we'll see a more peaceful tournament this time in terms of that.
And he almost scored a better one a couple minutes later. Stanciu is sooo good on his day, too bad he always went for the easy money, China and now Saudi. Old school number 10Best goal of the EURO so far.
I don't see any bus parking.. In fact they seem incredibly well drilled in the build up , a real plan with the ball.When did we start?
The hooligan culture as a whole is what it is, but there haven't really been any incidents of significance with Ukrainians around the national team though. Before 2012 we had Sol Campbell telling how Ukraine is too dangerous for England fans to travel to, but pretty much the only incident on that side of the border were a few German idiots displaying Nazi symbols and throwing trash on the pitch. Meanwhile in Poland there were several major fights involving Russian hooligans (and one Croats against the police).IIRC Ukrainian hooligans were more or less pretty similar to Russian hooligans. I mean really all of the former Eastern bloc had pretty similar hooligan scenes. (But FWIW I suspect a significant % of the Ukrainian hooligan scene is somewhere in a ditch in Eastern Ukraine currently).
FWIW Fubo.TV has an overlay now for score and time which is a great improvement on the first broadcast. I will say I think it's quite curious that the abbreviation for Romania is 'ROU' which to me sounds like it can only be based on French..but I don't think I've seen any other country so far with a French-based abbreviation. I know in the old days the French-based abbreviations were standard in the Olympics but that hasn't been done in at least 30 years either.
Politically linked too. The Russian ultras making a mess out of euro 2016 undoubtedly had some links to the Kremlin.IIRC Ukrainian hooligans were more or less pretty similar to Russian hooligans.
