The Armenian national football team will hold its most fatal match
against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin today. For the first time
in history Armenia has good chances to qualify for the finals of UEFA
Euro 2012.
Standing on the cusp of a first appearance in the play-offs, Armenia
have exceeded all expectations.
Armenia have emerged as the surprise package of this UEFA European
Championship qualification campaign. After losing three of their
first four matches in 2011, there was nothing to suggest Minasyan's
charges would be anywhere near a runners-up berth going into their
final Group B fixture. Yet, three wins and 11 goals later Armenia are
riding high on a wave of confidence. Just one more victory in Dublin
on Tuesday and the prospect of a play-off place will have transformed
from pipe dream into reality, the UEFA.com writes.
Now, with 17 points from nine matches, Armenia lie third, a point
behind Giovanni Trapattoni's team, and boasting a goal difference
six better than either Russia or Tuesday's opponents.
For their part, the hosts will be content with the draw that will
seal second spot at Armenia's expense.
