"LONDON, Sept. 1. — Ukraine are on the verge of qualifying for their first World Cup soccer appearance, and becoming the first European team to join hosts Germany in next year’s championships. Too bad for star striker Andriy Shevchenko and his teammates that no one will be there to see it.
Saturday’s qualifier against Georgia will be played in an empty stadium in Tblisi. Fifa ordered Georgia to play their two remaining group games behind closed doors, because fans threw fireworks onto the field during qualifying matches against Greece and Turkey. "
