Photo journal: Team Ukraine fanatics in Germany at the World Cup

PARSIPPANY, N.J. - This summer, the World Cup brought Ukrainians from all over the globe to Germany to cheer on their countrymen. Some fans dressed in traditional fashion, some loud and proud, while others mixed their home country style with Ukrainian motifs.

Team Ukraine, in its debut performance at the World Cup, advanced to the quarter-finals. Ukraine lost to Italy, which went on to defeat France to win the soccer championship.

If you've got a blue-and-yellow wig, save it for the next World Cup scheduled for South Africa in 2010.

We'll get 'em next time!

Seen on this page are some of the highlights of the World Cup, most seen through the eyes of our readers who sent in photographs.
