I swear all Albanians think they're some type of racial anthropologist. If a person has a slightly tan complexion Albanians will say he's a gypsy which is hilarious. The only player from that list is Aliji which I think is half but the other guys aren't pale so they're gypsies.. okay!

Spot on.

Only Aliji looks like a "foreigner". The rest all have common Albanian/Mediterranean looks.

Sadiku, Aliji, Hysaj, Manaj, Curri, Gjasula , Kristi Marku, all have roma or ashkali roots. What to do...

Look even Bulku, Valdet Rama or Hamdi Salihi are darker than Edgar Cani, Vajushi or Balaj but at least they all can be classified as european.

Salihi is Dinaro-Pontid with CM
Bulku is Dinaro-Med
Rama Dinarid-CM

The ones i mention in my previous post cannot be classified as they don't enter in the european categories it is the way it is, maybe only Hysaj can pass as full "Mediterranean" but it's not very common for a Shkodran.

Bushi, Lala have gipsy fathers... Their mothers are Albanian. Guys like Marku, Zeqiri, etc... are quite obviously Roma as well.

Not every Roma looks like Aziz Anzari and is begging in the streets. Most are mixed. You have Romas with light features too.

Indeed, most of roma people in Albania are mixed just like most of the albanians do have foreign genes in their pool, it's also very common to have darker skin being albanian. You have very white romani that would most likely be classified as Albanians with blue eyes.

Speaking of Skenderbeu, next match in Europe will be against Lok. Moscow away. Any prediction? I would bet it over 3.5 .

Yep. Most Roma are like Jews in Eastern Europe and Germany. Very mixed with locals. Most uninformed people think they all look hardcore Indian.

Romanis in England are straight up white. I've known Romas who looked pretty Albanian.

Ill stick to 0-1 pts in the entire group phase. Also, 3-4 goals scored MAX.

Aliji is straight up Aziz Ansari.

I have bet in Skenderbeu - Besiktas 2-2 and it was safe bet.

Salihi and Oliyanka are playing well together. Berisha and Latifi have clear inferiority complexes. Panicking and giving the ball away everytime they touch it. Radas is terrible as well.

Skenderbeu is playing well but Salihi is an absolute dead weight of a player.

I think the defense will prevent Skenderbeu from picking up a point in this group though.
