The match is about to start so I’ll keep this brief. Dynamo needs to avoid a defeat in order to finish third in Group G and parachute into the UEFA Cup knockout round. They will be without the services of suspended Oleksandr Aliyev and injured Badr El Kaddouri. The snow has been [...]

Getting sent off in a big match is a tough pill to swallow, especially for a player considered to be one of the centerpieces of his team. Emotions run high, control is lost, and the filter between the brain and the mouth stops functioning. The next day players tend to regret adrenaline-fueled comments [...]
Arsenal 1 – 0 Dynamo: Another Late Lapse Sinks Kiev
By: Yevy | No Comments
If football matches lasted 85 minutes Dynamo would be riding an unbeaten Group G record into the knockout round of the Champions League. But after conceding a late equalizer to Arsenal in September, a sucker punch at the death to Porto, and now a highly dubious Nicklas Bendtner winner at the Emirates, the Kiev [...]

Three weeks ago both Dynamo and Arsenal had a chance to take care of business and turn off the pressure for their second meeting. But with two matches to go every team in Group G still has something to play for. Dynamo will need a minimum of four points to be in position [...]

By: Yevy | No Comments
As if the outcome of Wednesday’s Champions League encounter with Porto was not disappointing enough, Ukrainian tabloid БЛИК is reporting that a “fan” broke through the police cordon and struck a Dynamo player. Right back Betao was heading off the pitch, probably still trying to process the events that lead to the shocking finish, [...]

I knew eventually it would come to this. For the first time since I started writing for The Offside, I have to tell you that Dynamo lost. It has been more than three months since the Kiev squad left the pitch with nothing to show for their efforts. And it could not [...]

By: Yevy | No Comments
It appears Dynamo drew the right Portugese club in the Champions League this time around. A year ago Sporting Lisbon beat Dynamo twice to end the Kiev side’s miserable European campaign. On Tuesday Sporting completed the “Ukrainian Sweep” with their second victory against Shakhtar Donetsk, leaving the Miners grasping for a UEFA Cup [...]

By: Yevy | No Comments
For too many years, Dynamo was a ship adrift in the choppy waters of Champions League football. Denied even single point in the group stage a year ago, and without a victory in four years, the semifinal appearance of 1999/2000 was a distant memory for the Kiev crew. But today voices of optimism [...]
Porto 0 – 1 Dynamo: Aliyev Bomb Earns The Points
By: Yevy | 1 Comment
Porto goakeeper Nuno didn’t do his homework. Watching Oleksandr Aliyev line up for a 30 meter free kick from the left wing, the veteran Portugese should have known what the Dynamo midfielder produced from that exact spot less than a month ago. As the delivery came in, Nuno reacted towards his near post, [...]
Champions League Thoughts, Etc.
By: Yevy | No Comments
Poor Luis Aragones. You would think that after winning Euro 2008 the old man could nap comfortably in the coach’s box and not worry about criticism of his team’s performance. As it turns out Fenerbahce fans don’t really care that Spain won the European Championship, and don’t think that managing their club is [...]
