The Helmond Cup

[Kowalczyk]

Next up: another edition of Shakhtar vs Dynamo Kyic, but this time for the league. I expect an easy win for Shakhtar, as Dynamo just clinched the Ukrainian title this weekend. They will be celebrating - and probably won't give a rat's about Wednesday's fixture.

Time for an update: FC Shakhtar Donetsk are still going strong. They beat the new Ukrainian champions (Dynamo Kyiv) in the Ukrainian Cup and Zorya in the league. Now it is time for the 'Big One' in Istanbul: the UEFA Cup final against Werder Bremen. Will the Helmond Cup move to yet another country, at season's end? It's been one hell of a ride, 'Helmonc Cup-wise', that's for sure!

I saw the much of the second half and the extra time. Why are all these Brazilians playing in the Ukraine and not in the Eredivisie. Shaktar looked quite the superior team today; lots of ball movement.

[jamie]

If I am not mistaken, a team like that is paying much higher wages then teams like Ajax or Psv.

[Jinne]

So the first chance to get it to another country will be via the European Super Cup. In case Shaktar remains the holder of the Helmond Cup until then. They of course play on now this summer to keep Ko busy.

[Orange14]

If I am not mistaken, a team like that is paying much higher wages then teams like Ajax or Psv.

I don't know the salary structure other than the Ukraine is quite different from Russia with all the oligarchy money at the major clubs. There is little wealth in the Ukraine at this point in time (witness the shutoff of natural gas that they couldn't pay Russia for) but I could be wrong.

[Kowalczyk]

Another league win for Shakhtar.

Amazing but true: the next fixture is Dynamo Kyiv vs Shakhtar and it is the fourth Helmond Cup fixture between Dynamo and Shakhtar fixture. We've had two in the UEFA Cup, one in the Ukrainian Cup and this next one is a league match (matchday 30, the very last matchday in Ukraine).

After that: one more fixture, the Ukrainian Cup final in Dnipropetrovsk, against FC Vorskla (from Poltava). If Shakhtar don't lose the Helmond Cup to Dynamo, that is.

Alright then: we have a new holder of the Helmond Cup. FC Shakhtar have passed it on to FC Dynamo Kyiv.

Which means that the summer break has started. The Ukrainian league is over and Dynamo are not in the cup final. This was it for 2008-2009.

The good news is that Dynamo Kyiv are the new champions of Ukraine (they already were before this last fixture against Shakhtar), and might take the Helmond Cup into a Champions League fixture for the very first time. We'll see what happens in 2009-2010.

Current holders: Dynamo Kyiv. We've already missed a few matches, but they still have it. The top fixture, against FC Vorskla Poltava, was for the Ukrainian Super Cup. The three after that were league fixtures in the Ukrainian Premier League.

Dinamo drew Barca and Inter in their pool opening up the possiblity for a cup quadruple for Barca this season. Wow, that would be cool!!!

[Kowalczyk]

That cup will be out of Ukraine soon enough, that's for sure...

Well, Kyev still holds it after a comfortable 3-1 victory over FC Metalurh Donetsk....

Indeed. But that's a good thing. They shouldn't lose it to a bunch of no-no's in the league now. They have to keep it until they play a big Champions League fixture. These Ukrainian names are getting boring...

Dynamo's next fixture is a cup game, by the way. Not a Ukrainian league game.

I love this thread!

Keep up the good work.

Another league win for Dynamo. Next up... the Champions League: home game against FC Rubin Kazan (champions of Russia), in a group with Inter and Barcelona.

It gets more and more exotic by the week!

The cup may move to Russia as Dinamo Kiev is down 0-1 at the half.

[Jinne]

Nah, 2-1 now for Dinamo. The cup must be waiting for a former Ajacied to take it over.

[Wie kent Cees de Wolf nog]

It's in the pocket for Kyev now; 3-1 with only minutes left to play.
