Will Ukraine boycott the World Cup 2018?

Ukraine may boycott the World Cup in Russia in 2018, said the president of the local football federation Grigory Surkis to the international news agencies. With this, he only confirmed the words of the Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko, who last week stressed the need "boycott to be discussed."

"The easiest way is to say that I am for the boycott. But if we follow and obey the agreement from Minsk, then we should not have problems with the conduct of the World Cup," said Surkis.

However Poroshenko got beyond urging all his allies to boycott the World Cup in Russia.

Fiorentina vs Roma

One of the most interesting matches of the semifinals in the Europa League is the match between the Italian Fiorentina and Roma. Both teams are in a very different form from each other. The players of Fiorentina are definitely on the upswing chalking up some impressive victories in recent months, and Roma turned strong with some weak results by onlinesocceradvisor.com recently. Take a look at our expert soccer prediction and analysis and decide whether to place a bet or not.

FIORENTINA
The team is currently presenting more than convincingly. The team is fighting on three fronts - UEFA Cup, the semi-final is in the tournament for the Cup of Italy and was in the battle for the third place in the Serie A championship. In the last match on the weekend, they were defeated with 0:4 in favor of Lazio, and thus cut off a series of 13 matches without a loss in all competitions. Despite that defeat, Fiorentina has enjoyed one of its best seasons in recent years. Today, the coach Vincenzo Montella will not be able to rely on the injured Giuseppe Rossi, Kuma Babukar and Federico Bernardeci. In attack we will see Mario Gomez and Mohammed Salah, who are excellent tandem in the front positions. And behind them the experienced Joaquin, Aquilani, Pizarro and Fernandez will be.

ROMA
The Romans have made several missteps in the recent meetings. The team is already behind the leader Juventus with11 points and it seems that winning of Europa League became the main goal in front of the team. Roma has had losses at last seven games and won only two times. And in the last round of the Calcio, they achieved a draw of 0:0 in an away match against Chievo. The boys of Rudy Garcia are definitely not in their best shape, but on the European scene show a completely different level. The only absentee will be Leandro Kastan. Knowing the style of Rudy Garcia, we expect him to start with in attack with Totti, Gervinho and Ljajic, and in the middle of the pitch to be Piyanic, de Rossi and Keita.

FOOTBALL FORECAST FOR FIORENTINA VS. ROMA
Both teams have already played three matches against each other. As Roma won at home with 2:0, and at the beginning of the year, finished with 1:1 on 'Artemio Franchi`in the matches of Serie A, Fiorentina, however, won about a month ago with 2:0 in the middle of Rome and so throw 'The Wolves` from the tournament for the Cup of Italy. The most logical outcome of the game today, according to us, is a draw. Our soccer forecast is X.

Michael Jordan is now officially one of 1829`s people in the world, holding more than $ 1 billion.
The best basketball player of all the times is the 1741th in the world. Jordan occupies the 513th place among the richest in the US.

The main part of the reach of Jordan, which amounts to just 1 billion dollars is from his contract with Nike, carrying 90 million dollars per year.

Half of the reach of Jordan (500 million dollars), however, is the ownership of the Charlotte Hornets. The team of 52-year-old Jordan today is estimated at 725 million dollars or more than 300 million dollars more than a year earlier.

The star has bought Hornets for 275 million dollars in 2010. The average price of the teams from the NBA has noted a record increase of 634 million dollars for 1.1 billion dollars last year.
This is mainly due to the transaction carried out by Steve Ballmer, who has bought Los Angeles Clippers for 2 billion dollars.
