Re: WC Qualification

Thanks for the many years of effort Sarkis! I thought he could play coming off the bench still but it is what it is. We do have some young prospects but non that are "athletic, tall, steady.."

Halftime
Italy 1- Armenia 1

first 10 minutes, Italy had a lot of chances, got an undeserved penalty that was a bad call, they scored
After that, game has mostly been controlled by Armenia. A lot chances, a lot of corners, a lot of shots on goal. Heno scored in 27th . Italy really looked outplayed after the first 10 minutes. I think we have a real chance to take all 3 points

Re: WC Qualification

3-1 we lose.. Our team shows skill and hussle but just for 40 minutes and fell apart after that. The first italian goal was bs call but they scored the other two ligit so grats Italy on a tough win.

Bro, I watched the game.
FACTS are FACTS. Italy's way better & more organized
Armenia was doing good until they started to walk instead of run & passing it straight to the Italians.

But anyone would admit that for the middle portion of the game, Armenia was the superior team. From the moment Italy scored in the 10th minute to about the 65th minute Armenia was outplaying them. Italy looked out of placed, they were giving the Armenians far too much space, looked slow and old compared to our young guys, and were giving lazy passes. But I think after not scoring on so many opportunities, to get scored on, it kind of broke their spirit. Overall though, it was an encouraging and proud performance. They didn't look scared or awed by the opponent or the moment at all. At the end of the day, experience prevailed and the better team did win.

Our defense needs to improve much more.

Re: WC Qualification

It was nothing to be ashamed of but it did show that we have still some weaknesses and that we cannot put in 90 minutes of good football but it also showed how dangerous our team is and the speed with which we can play. I think Sarkisov should have started instead of Manucharian. Ozbilliz and Sarkisov and Heno created chances because of their speed which Italy had problems dealing with.

Re: WC Qualification

We should not fool ourselves. It's Italy. But we played very well the first half of the the game. Towards the end, we started getting tired and fell apart. If Movsesyan had scored on that one opportunity, it may have ended much differently.

Agreed, totally different ball game if they had tied it at 2 if that head shot went in
