So, the first results of 2009 are in: Dynamo are advancing on all fronts. First, Dynamo, fighting many key injuries and suspensions, were able to overcome Valencia in the UEFA Cup and advance to the next round. Secondly, Dynamo made a huge step towards winning the Ukrainian Premier League title by defeating their closest opposition, Metalist ( Read more... )

Time to take stock of Dynamo's 2008 Fall Campaign. There are many positives. Victories home and abroad, promising showings for both youngsters and experienced veterans ( Read more... )

Another very tight, very respectable UEFA Champions League showing, and another point lost in the last minute... Why do we keep screwing up in the last minute? Are the guys THAT unprofessional? Do they not know that the match is played over more than 87 minutes ( Read more... )

Dynamo had their arguably toughest match in the Ukrainian premier league season - on the road to Shakhtar Donetsk. Don't look at Shakhtar's 15 point arrears - miners are always Dynamo's biggest rivals, no matter where in the standings they are. This match was no different. The teams fought hard. Until Shakhtar's goal, Dynamo tried a defensive ( Read more... )

Dynamo have undoubtedly hit a rough patch. What seemed to be a continuation of a very promissing season hit an unexpected snag. As Dynamo were leading Porto 1:0 in the their Champions league match, thing appeared quite rosy, indeed, for Dynamo. A win would have all but placed Dynamo in the play-off stages of the Champions League for the first ( Read more... )

Dynamo demolished Tavriya and Zorya (again) in five days. Due to Metalurh Donetsk's loss to metalist Kharkiv, Dynamo are now leading by 5 points and it does not look like anyone is going to stop them in the UPL ( Read more... )

To a very workmanlike performance against Arsenal, Dynamo have added another non-embarassing performance in the Champions League, in Istanbul against Fenerbahce. Another draw, 0:0, takes Dynamo's talley, 2 points, in this year's CL Group Stage to equal the combined total from the last two seasons. And they did it in 2 games versus 12 from 2006- ( Read more... )

Another week goes by and, I must admit, I feel much better about Dynamo: a total decapitation of the Chornomorets Odesa away, 3-0, in the league match, and a hopeful start to the Champions League campaign against Arsenal, with a 1-1 home draw (which was only 3-4 minutes away from being an outright victory). This gives us a shot of optimism. ( Read more... )

Dynamo had brought Spartak Moscow down with an audible thud once again. Thud! 4-1! Who could have expected such domination? 8-2 on the aggregate? Yes, as usual for such situations, we must discuss the possibility that Spartak being bad contributed far more than Dynamo being good. I refuse to believe that Dynamo turned into a juggernaut just ( Read more... )
