well sweden and ukraine are kind of cousins from the vikings who sailed down the rivers and established the kievan rus' (iirc?) so they maybe can agree to disagree and call it a draw

"Was the ball wobbling there, the Tango ball, in the air?" I'm not sure any commentator so far has avoided discussing the ball, even if it's just to note there's not been any controversy about the ball.

First group games are usually shite, it'll be better when they all decide they have to win.
