  1. Go for it Armenia, you can achieve anything but you have to put your mind to the task. You nearly did the impossible a few years ago and now you can do it I am sure. Good luck.

  2. My only wish is for Henrikh Mkhitaryan to get a couple of goals to boost his confidence both for himself and the Armenian team. We know what he can do, now that he will play in his preferred position rather than the makeshift one he is dished out every week, if at all.

    With a broken heart, Armenia lost 2-1 against Albania.
    Armenian National team running out of gas in the 2-nd half, while they were ahead 1-0 in the Fist half.

    They’ve lost to Portugal 1-0 in dying moments of 2-nd half.

    They’ve got tied against Serbia 1-1 again in the 2-nd half.

    Seems to me, that Armenia’s national coach don’t have a clue how to guide his team during 2-nd halves.
