  • Djorkaeff is the man

    I just read a cool article on Djorkaeff in "90:00". The mag has his pic on the cover. I didn't expect that he would mention his Armenianness, considering they were talking about clubs and his WC championship, but here's what the paragraph says:


    His grandparents fled the terrible Armenian genocide commited by the turks in 1915, eventually settling in France. "I tried to do a lot for the Armenian people. I am very proud to be Armenian and I am very proud of what that country is becoming. " There were several disappointed members of Los Angeles's significant Armenian population in attendance when Djorkaeff had to pull out of the Metrostars trip to the Home Depot Center earlier in the season due to injury -- proof of his everlasting popularity within and loyalty from his ethnicity.

    Awsome, he stays tru to his "Armenianess"
    Too bad he's kind of old, I don't think he's go too many years left to play.

        He was really awesome during the Cup in France. It was his beautiful corner kick that landed right on Zizzu's head.

            In which team is Djorkaeff playing at the moment ? Last season he was with Bolton. Is he still with Bolton ? I have seen Bolton play this season ,but he was not in the team.

              He was transferred to the NewYork/New Jersey Metrostars. I dont follow the MLS so i cantreally say much about his playing. hopefully one day soon he can in some way help the development of football in Armenia. A coach, advisor...
