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!

That league is awful. Tried to watch a game of Cikalleshi but turned the stream off after 10 minutes. It's an amateur fest.
It's tough to watch a league you're not familiar with. I watch MLS and if I weren't emotionally involved in the league I don't think I'd be able to watch 90% of the games. We have been spoiled by high level football (CL, EPL, LA Liga, Bundesliga) that's easily available on TV. I watched Utd-City on Saturday and then I was watching Portland - Orlando yesterday and it was brutal but I till watched the whole MLS game as I know the players and the league as I have been following for almost 2 decades now. I also enjoy watching the A-League as I find it very similar to MLS. I can't watch Serie A, no matter who plays, yet I love watching Italy play. Go figure.
To me every league has their fair share of unwatchable games
Must admit Balaj has scored some good goals for Rijeka. Besides taht tap in vs Dinamo they've all been clinical, from outside the box and well placed shots.
Makes me wonder why Balaj would do well in Croatia, and some extent in Poland, but fail in Czech Republic twice. I know Dzeko did well in that league before going to Wolfsburg.

Balaj doesn't fit the gaming style of a team that leads the championship like Sparta Praha. He is a typical midtable defensive team striker who holds the ball for time wasting . Shala was doing well there untill he got injured. Praha plays a very fast football style.

I watched the game. The other cb kept Tevez onside on the first goal. On the 2nd goal the midfield failed the defence. Yes, he was shaky all game but so was their whole team.
