    To be fair, Armenia are in a rich vein of form. That's their 9th game unbeaten. And whilst they have played some weak sides in that time, they have beaten Iceland and Macedonia, both of whom are going to the Euro's. They've also beaten Romania, who are traditionally a much stronger side. They've also beaten Bosnia and Greece in the not too distant past.

    Was a strong Croatia team starting with the likes of

    Vrsaljko
    Vida
    Barisic
    Modric
    Brozovic
    Vlasic
    Perisic
    Kramaric
    Brekalo

    Pasalic and Rebic came on as subs.

    Aging squad now though.

    Vida 32
    Lovren 31
    Modric 35
    Perisic 32

    Probably the last major national tournament for those 4.

    Modric at a push but the world cup is next year & those players got them to the final last time. They’ll be there next year.

    Yes but imagine the press and public backlash of England drawing 1-1 in a euros warm up versus Armenia.

    That’s the Armenians. What about the English.
