    WC 2006 qualifier Armenia vs. FYR Macedonia: Macedonians optimistic
    ahead of clash with Armenians
    03.06.2005
    by Ivan Stojanović


    This Saturday the national team of Former Yugoslav Republic Macedonia
    will play against Armenia in capital city of this country Yerevan.
    Macedonians wont have much to play for here except for self esteem
    and national pride considering their hopes for qualifying for the
    World Cup have already vanished.

    Serbian coach Slobodan Santrac (Slobodan Santrač) has said that
    Macedonia will fight for all three points and that he hopes some new
    players which he called up will prove his point, that they deserve
    to put on the national jersey.

    The Reds supporters hope that their side will sign in a victory with
    the same result as in Skopje when Macedonia won 3:0 against Armenia in
    their first match of qualifications, but that's doubtful considering
    the Armenians improved a lot since then.

    It's interesting that this match could have even get postponed
    because the MAT airplane which took the internationals to Yerovan
    was called off by the Turkish flight control, from an unknown reason.
    After couple of hours of flying around Turkish territory, the airplane
    finally got a permit to fly back to Skopje, but they still succeeded
    to somehow arrive to Armenia this Friday.

    Macedonian striker Goran Maznov who will most certainly lead the attack
    with Goran Pandev has said: "We are in Yerovan to sign in all three
    points. I am optimistic and I believe that we wont let our fans down,
    and if we lose that will be a great personal disappointment for me."

    Young goalkeeper Filip Madzovski is presumed to make his debut
    between the guests posts while experienced defender Goce Sedloski
    should coordinate the last line with Aleksandar Vasovski. Santrac
    will have some dilemma who to place into midfield but its certain
    that Velice Sumulikoski and Aleksandar Mitreski will lead it.

    On the other side the national coach of Armenia Henk Visman isn't so
    lucky as his colleague who has no concerns regarding injuries. Visman
    will greet Macedonia without five of his standards, Hartjan Vardanyan,
    Artur Petrosyan, Artvaz Karmyan, Artur Voskonyan and Andrej Movsisyan
    are all ruled out because of injuries. Therefore he was forces to
    call up 30 year old Albert Sargsyan from Amkara (Russia) who will by
    this end his two year absence from the national team.

    The match is scheduled to be played on 17:00 hours local time.
