Ukraine president blames Terry for political unrest?

Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych has reportedly listed John Terry as one of the factors resulting in political unrest in the country.

US senators John McCain and Chris Murphy recently visited the country in support of pro-EU protests and met with the president to discuss the turbulence.

Murphy wrote in a blog about the trip: "At one point, he spends more than a few minutes talking about a disallowed goal by Ukraine in a 2012 Euro Cup match against England."

Marko Devic's strike was ruled out after the referee believed that Terry had cleared the ball off the line, but replays suggested that it was already in the goal when the Chelsea man kicked it away.
