GLASGOW, Scotland -- Ukraine are 90 minutes away from the World Cup.
For a country that is fighting for its very existence following Russia's invasion in February, to even think about the insignificance of qualifying for a football tournament is difficult to comprehend, but Ukraine's 3-1 win against Scotland in their World Cup play-off semifinal on Wednesday sent a message to the world that theirs is a country of incredible spirit and resolve.
To those suffering the brutal reality of war in the country, the football team's potential qualification for Qatar 2022 may mean nothing or everything.
