This will be the 90 longest minutes of our lives.

Spain is a nightmare matchup for Albania. Would rather play Germany, Brazil or anyone else than Spain.

If there is any team in Europe that can rape us it's Spain.

Explain please

I have a feeling we'll see Aliji at LM if Agolli is healthy. Apparently Aliji has been playing in the midfield for his club lately and I'm sure Di Biaisi will try to pull a trick up his sleeve to show how gutsy/smart he is.

---------Balaj
Aliji-Memushaj-Roshi
-----Kukeli-Abrashi
Agoli-Mavraj-Gym-Hysaj
-----------Berisha

That's if Memushaj is good to go. Too bad Xhaka and Memushaj were injured coming in. I truly think we could have got a draw if those two were 100%

well, the only positive is that kukeli is gonna get gang raped and then DB wont be able to hide his lover's complete lack of ability anymore. guy was even shit against liechtenstein. how can you be so shit? llullaku is another that should answer that question

aliji at LM is not a bad idea. i think it's about time he replaces agolli tbh. agolli is 33 now and it wont be long before he becomes a liability too. i think he still has something to offer but he should be an option from the bench

Problem with Aliji replacing Agolli is that he's a terrible defender. Even at his club in the 2nd division they moved him higher up the pitch because he can't defend and is physically too small/weak. Offensively and on the ball he's better than Agolli.

Explain please

1) They press a lot and Albania struggles against teams that press because we are a slow, bad passing team. We are good at back/sideway passes and playing it safe but Spain won't give you any room to do that.

2(also relating to 1) Spain will have pretty much all the possession. Are we gonna get a corner from this game? A shot on a target?? Gonna be very difficult.

3) We always struggle against small, quick technical players who dribble, combine and play 1-2's around the box. This team can defend more physical teams better.

4) Keeping concentration for such a long time. Spain can suck your soul right out and demoralize you. Let's say they score a goal in the first 10 minutes then what's gonna happen??

Agree with you but against France we did relatively well. Granted France do not play the same style as Spain but they did have all the possession.

I think we have been getting used to these types of games (Swiss, France) where we have very little of the ball. What's going to hurt us is not having Ajeti in the back. Don't think Gjimshiti can cope with the fast paced Spaniards.

In Marseille France pressed us only in the 2nd half and as soon as they did it we struggled a lot. Spain plays that way from the first minute. Also different styles. France is more of a physical team while Spain will try to beat you with their passing and technique.

Spanja do aktivizoje nje qendermbrojtes si mbrojtes i majte. Momento per Roshin ne ate krah. Kombetarja rrezikon te luaje pa tifoze ndeshjen ndaj Izraelit per zhurmueset e perdora nga tifozat.

[Princ]

Against Spain I'd put

Berisha
Hysaj xhim mavraj agolli
Abrashi kukeli xhaka
Lila balaj roshi

Maybe roshis speed can create some problems and all it takes is one lucky cross for balaj . The rest r there for defense

[Leandro]

s'ka gjasa me u dënu pa tifozë për fishekzjarrë. megjithse mund të marrim naj gjobë. qr këto fishekzjarrët janë vari karin as gjë e bukur janë dhe na kushtojnë dënime. sa kara ata që i ndezin

-----lenjani - balaj - roshi
---- xhaka - kaçe - abrashi
aliji - mavraj - gjimshiti - hysaj
-------------- berisha

këtë formacion do luaja pa ditur nëse sadiku dhe memushaj do jenë gati

[Migjeni]

----Grezda---Balaj----Roshi
-----Abrashi----Kaçe-----Xhaka
Agolli---Mavraj---Xhimshiti---Hysaj
-------------- Berisha

Would be alright for me.

But we're probably gonna se something like:

-----------------Balaj
Roshi--------Basha-------Lila
------Abrashi--------Xhaka
Agolli---Mavraj---Xhimshiti---Hysaj
-------------- Berisha
