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!

Currently in Velipojë with the Plisat singing about our only flag, the red one with an eagle in the middle. 500 Prishtinali in Velipojë and none could give a single care about any other game apart from the our country's one.

I'll be tuning in and out that's for sure.
Not really, banning our national symbols is a travesty. Basically it reinforces the idea that we have absolutely no say in our internal matters. f*** that.
It's their first ever international game, they aren't going to want Fifa on their arses from Day 1. It's understandable. 2 to 3 games in and they will remove all regulation. Besides wasn't this a Finland FA decision?
It really is stupid and contradictory from FIFA. One of FIFA's main principles is to stay neutral from politics and to combat against racism, discrimination, etc. By saying to ban certain ethnic symbols from the stadium(anything Albanian related) is acting in a discriminatory manner against the fans & players of that ethnicity considering all the players and fans of the teams are ethnic Albanians..
But that being said everything about FIFA is contradictory and it's an organization that is all about politics and $$.
Jane justifikime koti . Ne cdo ndeshje te Italise dhe kudo ne Serie A kam vu re flamur Shqiptar ne Stadium e njajta gja ne Champions e EL ne shume ndeshje. Eshte thjeshte justifikim i Federates Kosovare pasi e vetmja gja qe ndalohet jane banerat politike e flamuri kombetar nuk asht politik. N ndeshje te Kroacise e Turqisr mbajne flamur Shqiptar pa problem , ne ndeshje te Malit te zi ka shpesh flamuj serb ....
Kosova seems better offensively than Albania. Their defence is shit though. But there's one thing I liked: Their non-bullshit attitude. They weren't afraid to go forward - Unlike Albania. Might be naive, but it was a pleasure watching the game at times. Deserved a win to be honest.
Valon Berisha, Rashica and Bernard Berisha were very, very good.
Kosova's wing play is far superior than ours. If only we had a chance for some talented wing players like Milot Rashica and Bernard Berisha. If only...
