Slovakia vs. Armenia

[tricky_colour]

Armenia have to play Macedonia, who the drew 2-2 with at home.

The flip side of this is that if Russia beat Slovakia we only need to win/draw against Armenia to at least make the playoffs which i really would fancy us. We may be ****e at winning games but we're the hardest team in the group to watch i would venture.

FYP for you

4-0 unbelievable

Slovakia are made for Armenia to beat. The chess game was over run. Hammered them at home and now hammered them away. Slovakia will be a completely different proposition against Russia.

Doesn't really matter now though does it? We need a miricle to catch Russia and Armenia have to be the big threat to second!

There is a catch 22 coming up here. A Slovakian win against Russia will mean that if we dont win at home to Armenia then we risk losing all. The good side of a Slovakian win is that it gives us a chance to win the group.

I had mentioned that Armenia had some good results and had the best goals scored (even better now)
but I never expected this.

Wow game over!! 4-0.

[born2bwild]

Play offs at least pretty much certain now.

Its in our own hands now - that has to be good news.

Surreal stuff. Kardashians dancing in the streets. Not a bad day for Ireland.

It's a complicated business these groups.

We need Slovakia to do what they have already done and beat Russia again. This time at home. And I bet Armenia won't beat Macedonia. Both teams play the exact same way and I would predict a draw in that game. Slovakia beat Russia and we win our last two games then we go through as automatic group winners. Weiss and his team will get slaughtered by the Slovakian press and fans. But as in the World Cup on their day they can beat the so called big teams. They can still qualify.

Beat Andorra and another glorious 0-0 against Armenia should do it, no?
