Kosova National Team [General topic]

With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

The nations league is a good change to the meaningless friendlies the countries used to play.

Football has evolved and improved tactically and small teams are very organised nowdays too. If a team like Luxembourg manages to win League D then they probably deserve to qualify for an euro tournament. By the looks of it, it's still very hard because while the best 4 teams of league D move to next campaigns league C the 4 worst of the later move to league D.
Yeah that’s a pile of bs imo, teams like Luxembourg or Georgia gonna end up qualifying after ending the real group stages barely winning any points . On the other hand is there anyway albania can qualify apart from these groups now ?
That's still one country per campaign, I see no problem in that.

Qualifying through groups is much more authentic, challenging and deserving.

To qualify for Euro 16 Albania had to beat Portugal away and draw Denmark twice while obviously taking care of business against smaller teams(Armenia). That's deserving of qualification imo.
Hahahaha already getting the ammo ready for when kosovo qualifies through nations league

When it’s them over a better team I have a problem especially since albania would have easily won whatever league d group they were in

It's just a bonus qualifiers before the real thing...They took all those four or five 3rd place spots from enlarging EUROs, and allocated them to the Nations League instead.

Last campaign reaching 3rd place meant going to the playoffs. Now that's no longer possible because those spots went to Nations League.
