I agree about Balaj but the ironic part is that he's still not even the worst striker called up. You can make an easy case that Vrioni, Manaj and Seferi all deserve to be dropped before Balaj.

I still can't believe Vrioni and Seferi were getting called up. This is why I don't take any arguments about how we shouldn't poach players because it's a waste of a roster spot seriously.

Cikaleshi is also close to being on Balaj's level whether you guys want to admit it or not. It just seems like it takes a decade to get rid of these "Lifers" (balaj, Lila, Cikaleshi, bulku, etc).

Balaj is absolutely worst striker in terms of performance, he comes from bench on the 70th minute and is less energic than the guy he already subsituted. I can't remember more apathetic player in our squad who shows less desire. Cika, Manaj, Sadiku love or hate them, they can miss sitters but they give everything.

Balaj has a better career than Sadiku, both for club and country.

Cikalleshi surpasses both of them with 8 goals in his last 8 games for Albania. He has been carrying us for the last few years.

Sadikus Euro 2016 goal surpasses anything Balaj has done or ever will do . Literally the greatest moment in our history

No way.

Balaj scoring that crazy volley against Portugal was the most legendary thing any Albanian international has ever done, by a mile.

Unfortunately, Balaj's goal against Portugal was easily the greatest goal in Albania NT's history. Not just because of its importance, but it was a world class goal.

That goal was what got you to the tourney. Qualifying for the tourney > Scoring in it.

Whatever we did in EUROs was just a bonus. The most important part was qualifying for EUROs.

I can't believe this is a debate. That Sadiku goal got us our first ever win actually at the tournament. Thats 1000000x more important than any qualifier goal. I don't care , there is no way that Balaj goal is more important .
