Slovakia ranks 26 in FIFA world ranking and Armenia 71, this will be a great chance for Armenia to climb higher in ranking. Congratulation to our Armenia men’s soccer team!!
I agree. Armenia is the most improved team in Europe in my opinion. Go Armenia!
Yea! Go Armenia. Keep it up. We need more good news like this.
Those were excellent plays by the Armenian. Slovakia did not appear to have the fighting spirit in this game, which would also explain the 4-0 difference. Armenia will need to keep the can-do attitude with other tough opponents in the upcoming games such as Ireland.
