Taking nothing away from our boys, but Serbia was severely handicapped playing outside of Belgrade and with many sections empty..

I wonder what forces were at play behind the scenes for the decision to move the game to Leskovac.
If Belgrade 2014 happened again, Serbia would be banned from European football. Nothing to do with Duka.

Be honest..

Albania has had a lot go its way in the past few years..

Big VAR decisions that directly impacted qualification..

Serbia moving the game to Leskovac and being without at least 20% of full capacity..

If you believe it’s all just a coincidence.. that’s fine.

I agree with this.

A 2014 repeat would be disastrous for them. I also think there’s some Vucic-Rama pull going here. They’re trying to normalize relationship between the two with the whole open Balkans, push for EU integration etc. Having 40k fans can’t ubi ubi sipatri the whole match and burning flags, etc, would put a big setback in those relations. Vucic is also treading on thin ice with the protests in Serbia so he can’t risk anything.

Albania has been lucky under Silvinho but this is not a good Serbian squad. This Serbian generation is weak and the few stars they have are overrated. Vlahovic is their star guy but he’s a massive bust. I also find it funny how Vlahovic who got sold for like $100 million gets bullied by Baba Ajeti playing in the Turkish second division

335k views??? Wtf those Jordanians are committed. Respect to them but they might be punching bags in the WC. Good technically but lacking physically and professionalism.
