Re: Armenia's National Football Team

If our governmant paid a litl bit attention to football and didnt use it just as a tool to kiss ass of turks maybe than it wouldnt be in such a shamefull condition and depend just on some guy who is just smart enough to sell flowers on the corner.

Rep of Ireland U-21 1-2 Armenia U-21

Wednesday, 3 March 2010 23:31

Don Givens' Republic of Ireland Under-21 side fell to yet another Group 2 qualifying defeat when they lost 2-1 to Armenia at Tallaght Stadium, writes John Kenny.

Having lost 4-1 in Yeravan last November, Givens had a stronger squad at his disposal tonight, but they were well beaten by a cannier Armenian side who outclassed an Ireland side that were poor at times.

The Republic are now three points adrift at the bottom of Group 2 and without a win in their seven games to date.

They are not in qualifier action again until August, when they play their final home game against Estonia, who lost 2-0 in Georgia earlier in the day.

On a dry, crisp night Ireland started the brighter as a Sean Scannell shot was saved by Armenian goalkeeper Edvard Hoyhannisyan's legs. This was followed by a superb Seamus Coleman run down the right to tee up Cillian Sheridan who could not get enough purchase on the ball to steer it to the net.

However, the Armenians came more and more into the game as the half wore on and striker Hovhannes Goharyan, a full international who has played for Bate Borisov in the Champions league, was a constant threat. It took a last-ditch tackle by Newcastle's Callum Morris in the area to prevent Goharyan from putting the visitors ahead.

Just after the half hour mark Conor Clifford drove in a free-kick from the left which was beaten away by Hoyhannisyan and Owen Garvan followed up by driving a shot wide.

Minutes later, Armenia hit the front as Levon Airapetian, who is on the books at Hamburg, was allowed allowed to run straight in on goal. Goalkeeper Shane Robinson should really have done better.

Five minutes from the break it was 2-0 as Sunderland's David Meyler bundled over Goharyan just outside the penalty area and Gevorg Ghazaryan scored with a brilliant free-kick that buried itself in Redmond's bottom left corner.

Redmond pulled off a fine point-blank save from Goharyan on the hour mark to prevent the Armenians making it 3-0 after Coleman had needlessly given the ball away.

Sheridan missed a great chance to pull a goal back when he headed over a great chance on 67 minutes before Goharyan's close-range shot was again brilliantly saved by Redmond.

Armenia ended the game with 10 men as Masis Voskanian was sent-off for a second yellow card for time wasting and almost immediately Irish substitute Ian Daly forced home what turned out to be a conciliation goal on 80 minutes.

Coleman almost scored a dramatic equaliser in the closing minutes but the Armenians held on.

Rep of Ireland U-21: Shane Redmond (Darlington); Seamus Coleman (Everton), Callum Morris (Newcastle United), Darren Dennehy (Gillingham), Cian Hughton (Lincoln City); Conor Clifford (Chelsea), Owen Garvan (Ipswich Town), David Meyler (Sunderland) (Ian Daly - Aris Thessaloniki 45); Alan Judge (Plymouth Argyle), Cillian Sheridan (St Johnstone), Sean Scannell (Crystal Palace) (Terry Dixon-West Ham United 62).

Substitutes: James McKeown (Peterborough United), Kevin Long (Burnley), Olanrewaju Oyebanjo (Histon), Seamus Conneely (Galway United), Scott Davies (Reading), Ian Daly (Aris Thessaloniki), Terry Dixon (West Ham United)

Armenia U-21: Edvard Hovhannisyan; Artak Yedigaryan, Artur Yuspashyan, Artashes Arakelyan, Levon Airapetian; Edgar Malakyan (Hirach Yagan 70), Davit Manakyan (Mihran Manasyan 90), Masis Voskanian, Gevorg Ghazaryan; Artak Dashyan, Hovhannes Goharyan.

Re: Armenia's National Football Team

I was in the writing mode after i finished my economics paper so i used up the momentum to write this.

To better the skills of the players on the Armenian national football team Mr Minassyan has decided that it would be cost-effective to give each player a Sony Playstation 3 along with FIFA soccer game instead of playing friendlies with other nations. Mr Minassyan said " The Playstation provides a great simulation environment for our players to hone their skills and it does away with many of the barriers in the real world. By using the Sony Playstation our players can play friendlies with any nation as many times they want and this is much more cost-effective then flying the whole team to some third world country and paying for tickets, room, board, cigarettes.... " . Mr Minassyan concluded that by playing just two hours a day on the Playstation his players can be in top shape which will pay great dividends in the next campaign for the Euro Cup. Being the tireless worker that he is, Mr Minassyan has also joined a fantasy league and is working on a deal to aquire Ronaldo, Messi and Rabino so the Armenian NT can "earn some points already". Mr Minassyan is also in talks with the defence secretary of Georgia so that he can learn from his mistakes. As you may remember the defence secretary of Georgia was a avid player of the game Civilization 2 and used his skills in the war against Russia last year. Mr Mynassian said that the defence secretary's mistake in the Russian/Georgian war was the fact that the laag in his computer made the game play much slower then the real life events turned out to be. Mr Minassyan stated that Since his players will be equuipped with PS3 instead of a PC they will not experience much laag at all thus there will be no difference between the PS3 and the real life experience of playing football. By learning from the mistakes of others and incorporating hi-tech training systems such as this Mr Minassyan believes that not only will the Armenian national team qualify for the next Euro cup but that they will have a 50/50 chance of winning it.

Italy Leave It Late To Find August Friendly Opponent
Nazionale chiefs struggle to find an opponent...

Italy could be forced to play a friendly against European minnows Armenia for Cesare Prandelli's debut on the bench after the FIGC left it late to find willing opposition, reports Sportmediaset.it.

The FIGC have been late in organising the August 11 friendly, leaving them with few opponents to choose from, and only Armenia from the European pot of teams.

The game was supposed to give Prandelli a chance to experiment with his new side before the real business of Euro 2012 qualification gets underway on September 3.

But it seems the Azzurri face a struggle to find worthy opposition. La Nazionale do have an option though, and they could play a non-European side in a neutral venue.

As a last resort, the FIGC suggested Prandelli holds a training camp from August 9, but that possibility seems remote after receiving opposing groans from inside the Azzurri establishment.





WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! IF THIS TRUE IT WOULD BE GREAT. Italy won 4 world cups, just second to brazil.So they are second big footballing nation in the world.Their clubs are the biggest in the world.I HOPE THIS IS TRUE!
