Re: Armenian Soccer

Due to the fact that Azerbaijan Armenophobia is on an official level , avoid sports commentators say the name of the Armenian footballer Henrik Mkhitaryan , who serves Dortmund "Borussia" . Azerbaijani commentators are afraid of losing their job.

At the meeting of the " Arsenal " - " Borussia " in the UEFA Champions League Henrik Mkhitaryan scored .

As Armenpress reports , this match was broadcast on the television channel " TV Azerbaijan ." However, Azerbaijani commentators have acted in a racist . At the 16th minute, they just kept silent when Mkhitaryan scored .

In this regard, the Azerbaijani fans came up with a variety of annotations on the network. The forum disput.az they noted : "Our commentators do not pronounce the name Mkhitaryan . When the ball was at the gates of "Arsenal" , the commentators said " Dortmund player ," as in school. As if their words because it ceases to be an Armenian . "

Others to use said " this one ( Mkhitaryan - Ed.) Is still the best player ." Also interesting , and this sarcastic note: " Live another Azerbaijani channel in the course of the meeting ," Milan "-" Barcelona ", one of the commentators , responding to the survey who scored the goal of Dortmund , immediately replied," Mkhitaryan . " After that, it's silent. Probably something smashed his head off . "

In Azerbaijan, at the state level are prohibited in the media to voice Armenian surname in good context.

Re: Armenian Soccer

Yikes, the U21s lost to France 6-0. I think it's a display of the ineptitude of the Football Federation of Armenia and their inability to develop any decent native players (Mkhitaryan was something of a fluke; Haroyan is alright). Their current strategy appears to be relying on diaspora players who may or may not want to play for Armenia.

Everything that can be said has been said about the moron in charge of our federation
And of course his hold on his position has nothing to do with his performance or abilities
when you can keep your job after being indirectly responsible for the murder of a serviceman (while your fatass sits on billions of stolen dollars), it is fairly certain you can't get fired for doing a xxxx job. Soon enough though all of these morons will have what's coming to them

Well, I think it will happen later rather than sooner simply because the oligarchs in Armenia are so intertwined and Hayrapetyan and others like him know that giving up a smidgeon of power would have a domino effect (and having proponents like Haykakan abroad doesn't help matters).

There are some promising Armenian youth players outside Armenia. Off the top of my head: Armen Ambartsumyan (CSKA Moscow), Arshak Koryan (Lokomotiv Moscow), Artur Miranyan (Shakhtar Donetsk), Yuri Udunyan (Anzhi Makahchkala). I know that Ambartsumyan, Koryan, and Miranyan have represented the Russia/Ukraine youth squads although they've either expressed interest in playing for Armenia or made vague comments and such trying to dodge the question. But again, it's a reliance on the diaspora. Rubo is probably waiting for the moment when he can extend an invitation to these guys to become part of "his" national team.

The difficult part is that ultimately the biggest gift the success of the national can bring is not some award, or some international recognition; it's the hope it brings to the youth in the country. So they have Armenian football heroes to emulate, so you instead of an Ozil jersey, you can see an Ozbillis jersey in Yerevan. But the problem is, when you depend on importing your players, what hope are you giving your youth. What are you teaching them? Move to Europe and you'll have a chance to be a good footballer?


Anyway the new rankings are supposed to come out Nov 22 I believe, and Armenia is supposed to be ranked somewhere in the 33-35 range based on what I've read on different places
