Those still saying that Ukraine won't take back Crimea haven't been paying attention to the recent blitz of strikes targeting Russia's core defenses all over the peninsula.

Since when have Europe's elite been permanent? Villa & Forest (twice) have won the European Cup. Man Utd had to pay AC Milan to visit in '88. A Super League without clubs from the EU's two biggest countries/economies, Germany & France? Do one.
And nobody ever consults the fans.
