Cultural Pride

Our own David Wilson is in Yerevan as the Republic of Ireland get ready to take on Armenia in the second of the World Cup Qualifiers, Here, David checks in from Yerevan describing the journey of getting there, plus he explains some of the other important aspects of the country including some of the more brutal times of the past. This isn't a preview of the actual game, rather more a summation of the country itself, in a social, historical and sporting context. We try to understand why people are so proud of being Armenian, and why their diasporic population continues to make waves across the entire world. Become a member at offtheball.com/join
