Yes, they pulled the double in 73 beating Dinamo Kiev and Zarya Voroshilovgrad (lugansk) in a Cup final. They were good for a few more years. and then were sort of mid table team until the break up of Soviet Union. Ukrainians had good teams representing in the League. Dinamo Kiev, Shakhtar, Dnepr, Zarya, Chernomorets and Karpati

Ararat had won the soviet league once iirc. It was quite an achievement in the league where mostly Russian, Ukrainian and Georgian clubs used to dominate.
One Georgian Club, Dinamo Tbilisi. There was another, Torpedo Kutaisi, but there were not as good as Dinamo.

Dinamo had some quality players. David Kipiani, Ramaz Shengelia, Daraselia, Chivadze, SUlakvelidze, Gutsaev. They were great.

You would think that Neftchi Baku would be Ararat's rivalry, but back then it was bloody rivalry between Ararat and Dinamo Tbilisi.

Soviet Brazilians as they say.
Honestly, Georgians are my favorite among ex Soviet nations. They really have that natural talent. If it wasn't for corruption, they'd have grown many Kvaradonas

They won Cup of Cup in 81. The other team winning it was Dinamo Kiev a few years earlier.

Guess it's Turkey vs Croatia today. Hakan and Brozovic starters along with Perisic.

Update: Hakan walked off with an injury in 38min.

How did Hakan play? My Turkish friends can’t stand Hakan and think he’s a mediocre player.
He was good against Armenia, which is not surprising. Hakan always plays well against mediocre teams. His problem is playing against strong teams. He was shit against Croats before he got injured and left the game. So ,your friends are not wrong in their thoughts about Hakan.

One thing is certain that Hakan is not a national team material. We tried to use him many times as trequartista and regista but it didn't work.

Wales online are out of their mind. How can you mix up female last name Mamedova, with Grant Ranos?:)

GOAL! Wales 1-3 Armenia (Mamedova)​
