Forget about Berisha and Rexhbecaj they are gonna wait for Germany till they are 27-28 then play for Kosovo
I can understand Mergim he is younger has been part of u 21 of them and scores at UCL
He can be capped since Lowë is experimental after 2017
But that Rexhbecaj dude l simply don't get it
Either way we are the 3rd choice so no point talking about these guys
Dashmir Elezi and Mario Mitaj should be called concentrate on these unproven raw gems and maybe we get one more case like Kumbulla or Broja

He only featured in a non fifa international friendly for them so he's not cap tied.

And Berisha is actually cap tied to Norway. For some reason I thought he was close to accepting a call up from Kosovo.

What would be the Berisha count if he had accepted?

We have other Berisha playing for Albania except of Etrit?

We should just do what Russia do anyone with Albanian sounding name should get citizenship from the government. I'm sure FSHF have the money to pay mafia boss RAMA..

I meant Kosovo's Berisha count.

That's actually what FSHF did with the Kosovar diaspora. They weren't "technically" eligible to play for Albania because they were an ex-Yugo territory and on paper they didn't have any connection with Albania. So FSHF just took their names and connected them with families within Albania (with the identical name) so they could be linked and eligible for FIFA. For example they found a 'Xhaka' family in Tropoja and connected Taulant with them so they can prove to Fifa that Taulant has connection to Albania. Same with Abrashi, Berisha, Basha, etc.

Elhan Kastrati should probably be our third choice GK ahead of Hoxha and Selmani

Why? Because he has dual citizenship and is considered homegrown in Italy? Kastrati should play full season as first keeper because in last years hasn't played much professional football.

Zymer Bytqiqi to Konyaspor. Now is the time to cap him up....

Cikalleshi who plays for that same team is apparently the worst player ever but this guy needs to be capped?

The double standard for Kosovar players....

Cikalleshi isn't bad player, his career was conditioned by constant terrible choices. Transfer to South Korea as 19 year old is the peak of his stupidity. Sokol doesn't have many fans in this forum but his contribution to the national team has always been solid.
