Kosova National Team [General topic]

[Dallku]

If we start calling a bunch of 16 year olds just to cap them then it becomes a circus.

[Simboli i Diellit]

Lol was going to write that. At least he will cap every single player with a bit of chance to reach high levels unlike De Biasi.

I get what you say, but I'm not promoting calling everyone up. I'm just saying that our FA could do a much better job at calling up one or two players every now and then who are looking promising. It won't really change anything in the composition of the team right here and now - but we might cap someone worth capping for the future.

I mean, it's beyond me, that Avdijaj still hasn't been called up, eventhough he's at least on par with a lot of players we have on the NT and has the potential to become much better.

[Dallku]

That shows how disloyal and unfaithful these Albanian "talents" are if you're that desperate to call them immediately after they hit puberty. It means that you don't trust them at all. Some kid might play for Barcelona's youth teams but when he grows up he might not be 4th division material. The national team should be a serious establishment and should be respected as such. Nobody forces anyone to play for any NT anyway. It's a personal choice at the end of the day.

Btw I agree about Avdijaj since he has shown some stuff at grown men level as well but how are we gonna cap him when he's injured nearly all the time? The guy is glass man.

I get what you're saying, but loyalty isn't really a commodity we have at our disposal in 2016. It's rare these days.

It's not just about capping them, but also showing that players can break down walls and be called up if they are playing well - even if they're having a short - but good - spell in their clubs. I don't understand why DB is so afraid to call up players like Cekici, Grezda, Latifi, Avdijaj and others. He's begun now - but that's out of fear of losing them to Kosova.

Yeah, I know he's plagued by injuries, but he has had longer spells with no injuries I think with DB not calling him.

Avdijaj is back after the international break so the game in November should be interesting to see if he is in our squad.

Celina, Rashica, Valon Berisha, Zeneli, Bernard Berisha. and if Kabashi becomes really a top league material, then we can say that Kosova made in 2 months what Albania couldn't for 70 years (first game 7 October 1946) 70 fucking years and Kosova > Albania.

Back in time Switzerland stole our players now Kosova pick them up, in the future probably Fiji will do it.

The fact that we can't unite and make a stronger team instead of 2 teams just don't let me sleep at night.

[Dallku]

KORAB, there is nothing to worry about. Albania is set for the next 10 years at least. The core is pretty young and obviously more players will come out. I think Albania will always have a better team than Kosovo but that's my opinion.

[Simboli i Diellit]

I don't think Albania will always have a better team than Kosova , probably will get more results and points than them because they lack experience but that's temporary.

[Albo_eagle]

Not temporary. How can you not still know how fickle Albanians are? When Kosova lose 3 or 4 games in a row and are bottom no one will go anymore. It goes back to Albania being the only team again as no one will have any interest in the losers.
