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!

You guys remember how Duka rejected Olayinka because he's African? Remember Duka's links to Takaj? Remember pay2play with Xhaka and Shaqiri?
Our team would be completely different if Duka didn't exist.

It's crazy because he would have fit so well under Di Biasi's system. Do you remember how Valdet Rama carried us offensively back in the 2014 WC qualifiers, Rashica would have been like that but on steroids.
Why would we need Rashica when we had world class players like Andi Lila who played for us in France? Come on dude.

Very impressed with Kosova's youth today, Smakiqi made some very good saves and he plays for Feronikeli. Could move up soon.

Kosova is moving from a Pot 5/6 team to a Pot 4 team. That's a pretty decent accomplishment. They have the edge over Albania too now for sure.

Like I said in the beginning though, the Czech Republic is still too strong for them to qualify. They're steam rolling everyone in that group.

Nah, Strakosha and Hysaj are still bigger. Strakosha has won trophies. Bulgaria is only worth 19 million which is like a Serie B team. But he's a close 3rd for sure, and can surpass Hysaj.

I'd say he was probably De Biasi's biggest blunder.

Rashica jashte ndeshjeve me Cekine dhe Angline. Worst timing to get injured. It's not looking good for Kosova as several of their players are sitting out with injuries.
