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!

He didn't have a good season either so another year of his career will be wasted at Stoke again.
Januzaj is now a part time footballer. He is still young though so he is lucky. I would of said if he moved from Utd then he could change his career around but his loan at Dortmund was a disaster. If Van Gaal remains he suffers and if Mourinho comes in be suffers again as he is definitely not a Mourinhi player.
Personally i never wish them well and their careers are going awful. Rashica and Hysaj have more promising careers than shaqiri now for sure.
Honestly as much as i wanted januzaj to pick us i cant blame him for choosing belgium. He was born there and he picked belgium from his heart and theres nothing wrong with that. Anyway im really hoping rashica can turn into a super player cus he has all the talent needed.. Ive seen him play hes really impressed me.

I don't think anybody would hold it against him if he chose Belgium right away but his dad was flirting with us to force a call-up to the World Cup in Brasil. That's messed up.
I honestly don't care if players don't choose us, especially player whose were born and grew up abroad. It's only fair that they represent the country that developed them as players.
Yeah im with you plako on everything u said. Honestly his father is a asshole prick and he doesnt like to listen to no1. I think he gave adnan that disease lol which is effecting him negatively towards his career.

Being from Kosovë i know many many other people from there and they would all choose to play for Albania, so i do not know where you base these opinions on.
Nobody can be more Albanian then me. I am from Prishtinë and say someone is from Tirana they can not be more Albanian than me ever, Prishtina is a integral part of Albania. Some of you need to understand this. I am from Prishtinë and i know countless people that live there and also that live here in England, and are some of the most patriotic people you will ever meet. So lets not say blah blah will play for Kosovë because i am telling you we are patriotic and will play for Albania.
Look i'm not only pointing finger at Kosovan federation, but Albanian federation suck as well, how many player we did miss because of our Mafia federation? Arijan Ademi is one of them... I believe Kosovan federation will be more active and will even look at players who even had one greatgrand father from Kosovan descent himself. Look at Necip Uysal already put in Kosovan dream team... While Albanian federation is not able to contact an Albanian born in Croatia, if Albanian federation was as much interested as Kosovan federation, they would have call Antonio Candreva for being from Arbereshe descent, really.
Albania is the team every Albanian should represent, regardless if they're from Malesia, Kosova, Lugina, Ilirida or Çameria. Yes the federation lost out on many players, but now they finally look like they are a bit more active. Aliji is here from Iliridë and Gjmishiti from Luginë, no good players from Malësia yet. Also from Kosovë getting someone like Avdijaj is big.
I think Kosovas FA is much better at getting players than FSHF. They're more active and less corrupt, at least that's what I've seen and experienced thus far. So when we unite, they should do the call ups
Whoever is representing the Albanians interests the most should be leading the Albanian National Team. We cannot shake off Duka, he just seems like he will never leave, because if he went then someone else could come in and do a much better job. The TKZ have alwasy went against him and that says everything.
Sadiku with another 2 goals today, to give his team a 2-0 win. He's up to 12 this season, 7th in the league is scoring (ahead of Tarashaj), even though the entire first half of the season he was a substitute at Zurich. Looks like his team will avoid relegation as well. Probably be considered as the best signing of the season. Smart decision to go on loan. I gotta say, I'm slightly impressed with him.

The whole FSHF is corrupt is b.s. The corruption in Albania exists at the club levels with club owners (people who fix matches). FSHF is just a target cause people don't know that much about football and just cuss at whoever is in the news, or whoever seems important. It's like in the US when people cuss at Obama making $400k/year , while the real corruption lies with the billionaire oligarchs pulling the strings behind the scenes.
I also laugh when people say shit like Januzaj didn't play for us, because FSHF didn't call him early enough. I admit it too that I got fooled by Abedini for a while. But it's ridiculous to think that at this point.
