The passions have been on top before the usual meeting of the football
championship 2010. The loss of our team in the game with the Bosnia
and Herzegovina football team was the last straw. The football
players were excited too as there were doubts that they will have
psychological problems in the game with the Belgian team and will not
be able to lead a normal game. The time however proved the contrary,
the displeasure of the fans made a positive influence. The Armenian
team had a thing to prove, they devoted themselves to the game and
celebrated their first victory with 2:1 points.

This victory is of a great importance for us. Our team at last got a
victory before the principal meeting with Spain and Turkey and will
play with more confidence in the future. The victory they got over
Belgium will have its impact over the resumption of the psychology
of the team.
