Selahi has already played for Belgium youth and by his interview he seems pretty comitted to our NT.

He had the option to play for Macedonia and Belgium (probably not good enough). I must say we have some okay midfielders coming through.
Albanian eligible to play for Macedonia will replace those who could play for Kosova now. I'm super happy about that. Too bad we lost out on Enis Bardhi, the dude's playing well in Spain where Sadiku failed miserably.

Aha I had no idea they had Elvis in Kosova too. I've met so many Albanian Elvises and zero American Elvises so one could truly say it's a typical Albanian name by now :)

Why would you be happy? Three milion albanian pop. in the old country, milions living outside of it, and you are happy that you are capping albanains from macedonia and kosova? I mean, Albania hasn't really stopped capping Albanians from Kosove either, they are doing it even with those from Kosovan superleague.

"You" didnt lose on Enis Bardhi also, he outright refused Albania when he understood that he had more chance of success with the maceodnian u21 which qualified for the euro finals, in a tourney he was spotted by lavante.

Yeah, because no Albanian player in the EUROs could have been spotted by Levante. I wonder where Sadiku came from.

The problem is not getting spotted, it's actually having skill. Real talent will always shine through regardless of where you play. Manaj was playing at Inter, and he's a Serie C player. Bare played for Atletico Madrid from Fier.

I have no idea who you are but am assuming you're one of the XT posters who just changed his nick so we can't tell who you are.

As for me being happy it's because I see OUR Kombetaren as the only all-inclusive pan-Albanian platform where we express our identity as one people. Unlike you, who seems to cherish the division between our people, I see no distinction between a Prishtinali, Shkupjan, Tetovar, Vlonjat, Tiranas or Strugan. I don't follow Albania because we play amazing football, I follow because it's the only team that represents me as an ethnic Albanian. Unlike you, I don't let petty things get in the way of supporting my people.

Nonsense. The same tune from some immigrant Albanian who is so out of touch with the reality.

Yep, you live in the lala land. Go ask a Prishtinali how long is the procedure for him to be handed Albanian citizenship( this is just one example of the cold harsh reality).

The matter of fact is Albanians outside of todays Albanian borders are excluded from everything apart from the cherry picked players. 0 choaches/trainers, 0 staff part of the football federation, 0 influence on how to run the football federation, 0 influence on who they can elect to run the football federation. This is the cold harsh reality.
