The Armenian national soccer team has left for Dublin where the team will face Ireland on Tuesday in the final Group B match in Euro 2012 qualifiers.

The game will start at 10:45 p.m. Yerevan time. The Armenian national squad needs a victory against Ireland to go to playoffs to qualify for Euro 2012.

Nineteen footballers left for Dublin, with goalkeeper Gevorg Kasparov and Robert Arzumanyan still recovering from traumas.

As reported earlier, the Irish team has a serious loss. Its commander, 31-year-old "Robbie" Keane cannot help his teammates because of a serious injury and will likely be substituted by striker Shane Long from West Bromwich.
