For clarity, I’ll state that the discussion is about soccer, known as football to all the world except in the U.S.
I’ve never been a fan of WATCHING sports. My eyes glaze over when people start discussing baseball statistics or who won the latest basketball game or what kind of avian creature’s level was achieved in golf by such-and-such professional player.
I can’t even seem to get excited when Armenians achieve fame and acclaim in the field of sports. The latest rage seems to be Henrig Mkhitarian playing for some English team. Before that, there were two Armenians on the French team that won some championship. If I remember, there was a kerfuffle surrounding one of them. I just chuckle and move on.
Of course there’s the 1973 victory of Armenia’s team in the USSR. People still rave about that team. But again, I just yawn.
I only start perking up when I learn of things like our inspiring, heroic, lullaby, “Zarteer Lao”
