The Macedonian team is traveling to red hot Armenia who is enjoying
its biggest success in football since their independence from the USSR.
In the European qualifying tournament Armenia sits on 14 pts from
8 matches, three back from Group C leader Russia. A win for Armenia
will put the small nation in first place.
The Macedonians have finished their 2012 campaign as in their first
8 matches have accumulated a very respectable five losses.
John Toshack expects a tough match against an invigorated Armenian
team.
-Our goal scoring ability is of major concern, we have a tough time
scoring, admitted Toshack at a press conference earlier today.
Don't worry Toshack. It gets better. Earlier today, Macedonian
offensive players were told the ball must enter a 7 meter wide
rectangular frame with a net attached to it. "It's the only way to
score", said a Football expert via a power point presentation. Armed
with this information, we expect a much better performance by our
players in Yerevan.
Joking aside, our players are looking better, though obvious goal
scoring quality is missing up front.
Macedonia will be without its ace, Goran Pandev who himsels has
struggled putting the ball through the rectangular frame, even when
there isn't a goalie present. Maybe Pandev's absence will spur the
red and yellow to perform better?
We count on Trickovski to score. As for the final score come Friday,
MINA's prediction is 2-1 to Macedonia. Our colleagues in Yerevan expect
an easy win against Macedonia and have reported complete sellout
(33,000 tickets sold). Despite this, we are still putting our money
on an 'upset' in the making. //Pero Stamatovski
