Macedonia, an absolute demolishing 0-6 in Germany, and a ridiculous 1-1 draw at home to Lichtenstein. Despite the awful results Armenia are still second in the group. The big question on everyones mind is WHAT WENT WRONG? We break it down to 4 digestible poin...

Armenia remain top of Group J in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers after the least exciting 0-0 draw in recent memory. With the suspension of three key players, Caparros set out a side with a plan!

The Armenian genocide was the systematic killing and deportation of Armenians by the Turks of the Ottoman Empire.

Aram and Armen are left alone after what was a full house in the last episode to try and make sense of the performance from the match.

Armenia was somehow, through some insane luck by the visitors could not get a shot on target to save our lives. It wasn't until an 8...
