At least me and Reg are too old to get called up.
You whipper-snappers better get your excuses in early

 Very good. But actually she prefers tsar tsar sauce! Reminds me of Zsa Zsa Gabor, who is happily still with us for a bit longer. As a kid I could never work out what it was that she actually did, or had done, that meant she regularly cropped up on TV chatting to the likes of Russell Harty or Michael Parkinson. It seems she was mummy, granny and great granny of the famous for being famous phenomenon so beloved of the 21st Century. Zsa Zsa had 9 husbands, so I suppose she must have a certain Eastern European, in her case Hungarian charm, that it easy to succumb to |

If Kazakhstan can be drawn against Iceland in a 2016 Euro qualifier, then Ukraine is safely inside Europe..
And if Israel can enter the Eurovision then Ukraine is in Europe. |

You might well be on to something here Reg. A one-off Russia v Ukraine international (un)friendly to decide the future of Crimea would probably be about as likely to lead to a decent solution as the current debacle, and with significantly less bloodshed (so long as it was played behind closed doors)
hmmm - not so sure about that. Back in 1969 there was terrific resentment in Honduras at the influx of immigrant workers from El Salvador El Salvador and Honduras had fought their way to a knock out game over two legs to get into the Mexico World Cup in 1970 No winner emerged (although the away fans got a good kicking in each tie) and a play off was scheduled in neutral Mexico when El Salvador stuffed Honduras 3-0 - and marched into the World Cup ... and also Honduras Although the ensuing "war" lasted but 4 days, the Central American equivalent of the EU blew apart for 10 years. |

And Russia! So you can live in Vladivostok and still sing in a European competition. |

El Salvador took a bit of momentum into the following years, until they got stuffed 10-1 by Hungary in the 82 WC....their national pride took a knock after that and they've not been back. I'm concerned for Tahiti after they went down 10-0 to Spain in the recent Confederations Cup. |

I thought the Ukrainian troops who marched out of their base unarmed to face down armed Russian soldiers were fantastically brave

If the Russians had any balls they should have dropped their guns and gone toe to toe with them. |
