its a sports forum for many different nations, each having there own thread.
also i browse through this forum

All of these players should be ready for the game against Russia.
The way i see it with Aras Ozbiliz, he was born in Turkey. His parents moved to Netherlands and he was brought up there so i dont think he's as patriotic as we are. In an interview a while back he did state he is Armenian

but i guess for him Netherlands is his homeland.
He wouldve been a good addition to our under21 considering our top player, Henrik Mkhitaryan, is 22 now so he will be unable to take part in the next under21 tournament which we were given a fairly easy group.

Czech Republic
Wales
Armenia
Montenegro
Andorra

Since we did so well in the last tournament we were placed in the 3rd pot.

Thanks for the info! And what do you think the chances are that Aras will play for the Dutch national team?

they have alot of talented youth players and there team is young right now. Aras is midfield/striker, The Dutch national team has very good midfielders and strikers. There midfield's are Wesley Sneijder, whos 26 and plays for Inter Milan, Arjen Robben, 27, plays for Bayern Munich, Robin Van Persie, 27, who plays for Arsenal, Klass Jan Huntelaar, 27, Schalke, Ibrahim Afellay, 24, Barcelona. i doubt he will get called up, he isnt even playing in the top Ajax team. He plays for Jong Ajax, the youth team, the team Edgar Manucharyan played for. If anything he might get called up to the Under 21 team but those players all are probably starters for there teams unlike Aras.
In my opinion its very unlikely he plays for the Dutch National Team.

So then if he does not get called up for the Dutch team, do you think he will come to Armenia's team instead? I think if our team wins against Russia it will make the team more attractive to Aras and other Diaspora Armenian players. What do you think?

We've had a few players like Aras before.
Denis Tumasyan, 25, is a defender who was born in Kiev, Soviet Union and plays for Ural in Russia. Armenia had invited him a few years ago to come play for us, he rejected saying he wanted to play for Russia. Russia didnt call him up so he ask Armenia if he could play for us. Armenia said no to him.
Joaquín Boghossian is a Uruguayan Armenian. He's 23 and plays in Austria for Red Bull Salzburg. Armenia invited him to come play for us, fans even made a video for him, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VCrBJjaBEs. He has basically been stalling because he wants to play for Uruguay's National Team. There are other players also.
If he doesnt get called up, maybe he will come to Armenia. Thats what happened with Yura Movsisyan. He wanted to play for the US national team but they were giving him a hard time with his green card so when Armenia invited him he said yes. I don't think beating Russia will change anything with the diaspora players. There are those who don't care the team sucks or whatever, they are just proud to represent there motherland. Hirach Yagan was born in Belgium where he plays until today. He's 22 years old. Armenia invited him and without hesitation he accepted. His brothers are also going to play for our youth team. Alan Stepanyan is the captain of Estonia's under 21 team. Armenia invited him to come play for us and he accepted. Unfortunately due to Estonian law he couldn't get dual citizenship so he couldn't come but the thing is he accepted the call. There are players like these, who couldve probably played for there countries but chose to play for Armenia instead. Then there are players who want to represent there home country, where they grew up like Aras and Joaquin.

I hope they do not get called up by either Holland or Uruguay so then they will be much more likely to come play for Armenia.

Do you know if the georgian team that faced Armenia yesterday had most of its starting line up?

I think it was mostly there top team with maybe a few new comers. There best player, Jano Ananidze, was playing.

So I think it is fair to say that had we had all of our first team players, we would have beat them.

im pretty sure we wouldve won if our top players played. Georgia isn't as good as they used to be.
