Re: Armenian Soccer

I don't think they will get it. It seems UEFA is regretting letting Poland and Ukraine host it, and the Poles are criticizing the Ukrainians for not taking things seriously in preparing the venues on time. Also, I really do not see how Georgia can afford to pay for it. Moreover, Azerbaijan is getting flak for Eurovision, so just imagine the ruckus that will be raised against them should they be awarded the games.

Also UEFA wouldn't allow such a crappy team as azerbaijan to qualify for such a tournament.

Armenia has 3 games coming up:
Armenia vs Greece in Austria 5/31/2012
Armenia vs Kazakhstan in Yerevan 6/05/2012
Armenia vs Belarus in Yerevan 8/15/2012

Armenia is going to renovate Hrazdan and the games will probably take place there. Armenia's new jersey's should be unveiled soon, according to the FFA. Armenia's defenseman, Varazdat Haroyan, is on trial at FC Koln of Bundesliga.

Re: Armenian Soccer

As corrupt as FIFA is, I don't think they are dysfunctional enough to put a major international tournament in a dictatorial backward wasteland like Azerbaijan. Georgia would at least be within the realm of reality, though still highly unlikely.

I wish we had been able to schedule another major opponent other than Greece before the fifa qualifiers

Norayr Mamedov to join Armenian team – head of federation

YEREVAN.- President of Armenian Football Federation Ruben Hayrapetyan said that Norayr Mamedov will join the Armenian team. Norayr Mamedov is currently playing for Dutch Zwolle.

As regards goalkeeper Grigor Meliksetyan playing in Iranian championships, head of the federation said “we should forget about him as soon as possible”.

“Grigor Meliksetyan is not a football player who has a strong character. We gave him the second chance but he performed as if he were 10,” he emphasized.

UEFA run the Euro Championships not FIFA, even if it was FIFA look at where the 2022 World Cup is being held.............QATAR............nice venue for July/August football.

Platini runs UEFA and is hot tip to replace Blatter at FIFA, therefore expect corruption in both organisations. The fact that this year's are in Poland/Ukraine shows how out of touch FIFA and UEFA are.

Facilities, transport, accomodation. the complete infrastructure is not to standard despite the millions/billions poured into Shaktar, Dnepro and Kharkov teams and stadiums.

Re: Armenian Soccer

The funniest news ive heard all week, azerbaijan and Georgia want to host Euro 2020.

Azerbaijan is the worst team in the Caucasus, and that's saying a lot. Not that I think it'll happen, but if it does, UEFA will lose whatever little credibility it has left.

Why does he dislike Grigor so much?
