Ukraine coach Oleh Blokhin has declared the country’s Euro 2012 draw to be "acceptable".

 

The co-hosts have ended up in Group D with England, Sweden and France, in what is a tough task, but one not entirely out of reach according to Blokhin.

 

"It’s an acceptable draw", said the Ukraine coach.

 

"Of course, it could also have been a little better, but then it could have been much worse.

 

"England and France may consider themselves as favourites in our group – it is their right", added Blokhin.

 

"But I think we and Sweden have our own opinion on the matter.

 

"We will do our best to play with dignity in front of our fans. I think their support will give us strength."
