Some of the clubs in Armenia faced off today against other european clubs. Banants lost and Uliss tied. I just didnt have the time to watch the games but i heard Uliss played well and Banants sucked.

Re: Armenian Soccer

I found a live stream of the Pyunik vs Partizan game today and enjoyed a rare opportunity to watch Armenias team in action. Well i enjoyed the first half atleast. Pyunik was very competative and at times even looked like the better team, hell they even scored a away goal. Unfortunately the second half was the same old crap. It seems that while the team had improved its offence, the improvement came at the expense of the defence. I did not watch the bitter end but i think it ended 3-1. I hope they win at home.

Yura Movsissian joined Armenias NT. He gave a nice statment which he said I could have waited 2 year and played for the US but I want to play for Armenia and make them stronger.. This kid is a real Armenian not like the countless chestpunding selfproclaimed hairenasers who wouldnt go to Hayastan because there were no five star hotels.

Re: Armenian Soccer

Watched our youngsters nt play Georgia today. We lost 2-3. Our side had by far the most scoring chances but.... Our defence is not good. Armenia plays Iran later today in a friendly.

Re: Armenian Soccer

I couldnt watch the NT friendly game vs Iran but it sounds like we played well but lost. I wonder if we will ever get a real coach?

Typical Irishman, bhy far his biggest concern being the price of the local beer.

As for the girl in the club!

I like how he said that Ararat is the highest mountain in Armenia. I'm sure that must have upset a few people from over the border!
