Within the second a part of the primary half and initially of the second half, there was some handwriting, however it was not sufficient to hold out the entire thing,” stated Tovmasyan in a briefing with journalists within the Nationwide Meeting as we speak.
To remind, the Armenian nationwide workforce misplaced yesterday’s recreation with an enormous rating, 1:6, within the nationwide workforce’s match with Poland.

“We now have to assume critically about youth soccer as nicely.
