Muriqi 1 goal and two assist
Sterling 1 goal and three assist
Sancho and Berish two goals each

Great game. Played with heart and never gave up.

England is levels above, though. Need better backs especially.

England was trolling around in the 2nd half..

They did take Kosovo seriously in the 1st half and it wasn't pretty.

Nothing to be ashamed of, they went to play football and could've scored more.

Brilliant performance imo , left our heart all out there

It's not true, England was deadly serious from the start. It was Vedat Muriqi who bitched most expensive defender of history. Kosovo played great offensive football but in end of day we faced probably best England generation and we scored three goals. Last team who scored three goals in a official match against England was Denmark on 1978.

Kosovo did amazing.
To keep playing like that 5-1 down shows they aren't scared of losing, they just play their hearts out. Because their fans support them UNCONDITIONALLY

No shame in losing to England by two. This is one of the better teams England has fielded in a long time.

Kosova looks really good offensively but damn do they play open. Kinda suicidal on how open they played against England. Even England fans were applauding them because they're used of teams just bunkering. Match showed Kosova can take it to anyone and they created alot of chances. Honestly, they could have made it 5-4 with 10 - 15 minutes left. At the end of the day it was a fair result since England should have probably scored another 1-2 as well. Again, Kosova is pretty bad defending the counter, they try to get too cute offensively and when they lose the ball it becomes a nightmare.

-Kosova still needs some muscle in the central midfield and Rexhbecaj would be a good addition.
-Aliti actually looks legit. Rrahmani had a stupid mistake rushing to the midfield trying to tackle Sterling which led to a easy goal scoring opportunity.
-Vojvoda has alot of talent offensively but defensively he's a bit of a nightmare. That own goal...
-Muric definitely gonna be a very good keeper but he makes mistakes trying to play it from the back. I guess he's trying to adopt to Pep's style.
-Valon Berisha pure class and hustle. Celina is so talented as well.
-Muriqi is Zlatan light.

It's gonna be exciting once Rashica, Zeneli and Kololi come back. I just hope Kosova dropping points to Montenegro and Bulgaria earlier doesn't bite them in the ass. That match against Czech Republic in November is really gonna decide if Kosova will qualify through the group or not.

They remind me of Albania back in the 90s, where we'd go back and forth with Germany but always end up losing. I didn't see them getting past Czechia but if they fix their defence they have a pretty good chance. Montenegro and Bulgaria have been trash.
