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!

It would be cool if they lended us a winger or two.

Yeah, De Biasi didn't want them when he had the chance, remember? - He'd rather play Lila over them.

It's too bad Rashica didn't prove his worth in his 10 minutes of game time in a meaningless friendly against Luxembourg. He had his chance though!

Hate that Italian piece of shit for that and for the whole GymCity-case.

I watched Kosovo in the last 10 minutes and you could tell that they have a tremendous freedom to express themselves. They dribble, combine, move off the ball ,etc.. Pretty much the opposite of Albania. The type of personnel is different though.

On the negative side Kosovo is the type of team that can lose 6-2 against the better teams like Turkey and Croatia.

Kosova from Day 1 is the team that we all aspired Albania would be. LedZep described it perfectly.

Didn't watch Albania's game at all and instead watched Kosova's and woowww does their attack shit on Albania's, it makes Albania look like Moldova. You can see the different type of mentally Kosova players have compared to Albania, not afraid to attack dribbling passed players Valon Berisha, Rashica and Bernard Berisha completely ran the game for Kosova its a damn shame that Albania doesn't have Berisha or Rashica on the wings instead stuck with Lila/ Gashi or Hyka. Only thing Kosova needs is like 2 center backs like Mavraj and i think they will be okay but it still could get ripped to shredds by teams like Croatia or Turkey.

I think what Kosova lacks is a true holding midfielder. T.Xhaka or Abrashi could have helped them out as well as Hetemaj.

Defintely true, but Enis Alushi and Kryeziu did the job today though. If Kosova had T.Xhaka and some one like Mavraj, Ajeti they would be set cause their attack is impressive.

Kosova was definitely impressive in the game. I spent most of the time watching their game since their type of play is more pleasing to the eye. They attack, they dribbled and they played with pace. I think their style of play surprised the Fins and the Fins went into the game thinking they were going to get an easy win but got out with a somewhat lucky draw.

Kosova is inexperienced and I do agree their style of play against better defensive teams might not work but the potential is there. The difference in style of play is eye popping. Albanian NT plays calculated, defensive, conservative while the Kosovar team goes out to win.
