.calebmlarson asked Ukrainians what the national team’s bid for the World Cup means to them:
Within the context of this war, the World Cup is a venue with worldwide reach to assert Ukraine’s right to exist. And while the World Cup would be the most prominent platform for Ukraine to show it has the right to exist as a nation, it is not the first.–like competition that pits musical groups from across Europe against one another. Ukraine’s entry, the rap group Kalush Orchestra, won by popular selection.
The irony of facing both the United States and England at the World Cup’s group stage is not lost on Ukrainians. “I think we should only care about the next game, but even so, it would be nice to have both the United States and England in our group,” Vyshkvarok says. “I would enjoy the game and the professionalism and sportsmanship for the players. Of course, everybody plays for his own country, but there is no rivalry after the final whistle. The World Cup itself is a huge celebration.
Vyshkvarok and a friend were able to watch the first half at a bar, but most Ukrainian viewers hunkered down at home, like Dmytro Kabanets and his daughter Emily.
