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!

When they will be accepted, Kosovo Albanians will make pressure and demand a unification of Albanian and Kosovar Albanian teams.
It will be natural. The recognition of the Kosovo league and NT is just a formality.
You making it too simple, it will take decades to unify.
It is taking decades for them to be recognized. After recognition, a formal union of leagues would be a matter of 1 maximum 2 years. For NTs it would be even quicker. Every Albanian want it.
Do you remember Prishtina and another Kosovo team wanted to apply for Albanian SuperLiga?
Lol as Simboli said you're the one making it too simple. The hwad of the FA, Duka, has said himself he wants one united national team but two seperate leagues as he thinks the leagues do not have to be unified. Obviously his logic is flawed as seperate leagues lead to division which helps form seperate national teams.
I don't know what dream world you are living in but people in Kosovë think Shaqiri, Xhaka, Januzaj ect are gonna come and play for them so do they want a seperate team (these people are idiots).
Your are also treating it as if we have some great leaders who will unify us, these guys are corrupt idiots who do not care about this.

Federalism is a threat, I agree. But it's not like Duka will decide alone.
If the Kosovo NT is created these players are allowed to switch nationality in fact. Nothing dreamy or complicated here.
Finally, we don't need any great leader to unify our leagues and NT. It is a simple thing to do, people will demand it.
No unification will happen for a million reasons. You guys are a decade or two behind with these silly dreams.
But if we're really desperate we have a chance to steal some Kosovar talents anyway(if FSHF really wants to). They're all gloryhunters and will always pick the better thing. If they see Albania with a new stadium, better coach/team, having already qualified, etc.. they'll probably choose it over Kosovo. We're in an era where nationalism is either dead or at least dying so players will always choose the "cooler" thing for the moment. Right now Albania is hotter than Kosovo but let me tell you 2 or 3 years ago the Albanian NT was considered a joke and everybody couldn't wait for Kosovo to get its own NT. They were making all-star Kosovan lineups and everything.. Now the hype for Kosovo has died down because of Albania's success but in the future that can change of course.

Nationalism might have died, but patriotism definately has not. Vetëvendosje will take Kosova very soon and with it's idead patriotism will be at a new high. PDIU are also gaining a lot pf respect and their manofesto is based all around patriotism.
Sports are a great advertiser for a new country's image and Kosova can get a very good team together. No one should feel butthurt and no one can be blamed.

Lots of youth players do not pan out and fail at the senior level. The main reason is that the game changes drastically from the youth level to the senior level. At the youth level the players play mostly for the love of the game, whereas as the senior level you are dealing with grown man who put food on the table by playing the game and will not hesitate to break your legs.
I followed Freddy Adu's career since he was 12 yo. He dominated at youth level until he was 14-15 and then made the jump to MLS where defenders were getting 1/20 of what he made. He failed miserably. He is now not even making the roster of the second division Tampa Bay Rowdies and getting paid $30k/year.

Yea ofcourse people can be blamed. Vokkri and Bunjaku especially. If they were really patriotic and cared about our sport they would of tried to convince Januzaj and others to play for Albania. Anyway they won't last as both of them are complete amateurs.
