As for our other Diasporan Armenian in the World Cup, we turn to none other than Andranik Teymourian *. This is his second World Cup appearance for Iran, and in spite of some reports which were circulating last week he would even be wearing the captain's armband, Nekounam is instead.
Andranik got his early footing at Ararat Teheran, eventually reaching new heights by playing for the Bolton Wanderers and Fulham of the EPL.
Here is some footage of Iran's superstar!

Good luck to Ando!!!
*FIFA's website has Andranik listed as Timotian, which we believe is his family name.
