    If you include a friendly against Ireland in March, they drew or lost by one goal in eight of their last ten matches, before a 5-0 away defeat to Croatia and a 0-2 home loss against Wales. They’ve played creditably against many of the stronger teams in their group, so this will feel like a big relief for them

    We didn’t yet play them away so don’t want to jinx it, but against Croatia they really looked terrible

    I don’t know which other national teams call up players to give them match fitness in NT rather than club. What is consistency worth when the results and the play is shit? Turkey is a team we do very well against historically, a number of draws and minimal losses even in recent years, in fact, should have gotten a draw this year too. In away game definitely not nearly as confident.

    Yeah I’ve been following Zelarayan’s career pretty closely. I live in Canada so I’ve seen multiple games on TV and also when he was playing for Belgrano in Argentina. It would’ve been cool to see him in Europe. I think he would’ve done really well for himself in a country like Belgium.

    And thanks for your support. Armenia is my go-to counter to cheer for. I have a great grandfather on my dads side that is Armenian. One of the largest Armenian diasporas in the world is in Argentina.

    Real shame that Armenia were down to 10 men for most of the game, but with how bad their defending was they’re honestly lucky it was only 2-0, but what can you do with a whole man disadvantage

    lol, we are absolutely dogshit, the manager has no risk taking in squad selection, in positions where we do have at least some exciting players worth looking at, instead calling up players that dont have gametime in their clubs. Team often looks like they can’t string 5 passes together, havent achieved any goals set, including winning D division in nations league, which should be an absolute minimum goal.

    Today was a good change in the background of manager’s seat being very hot, ultras leaving the stadium in the first half in protest, and some of the players being out, which actually propelled good changes in the lineup, players that most of us wanted to see. And Uldriķis wasn’t shit for once.

    Yes much like the Armenian team, it is a joke

    Except for the last part. They’re honestly lucky they only conceded 1 goal while up a man.
