Saying 'tap-in' or 'bum crusher' about any Albanian striker just doesn't make sense. We wish we had a good tap in merchant that would always be in the right place and finish every good chance in the box. We don't have one.

For perspective: Igli Tare scored 10 goals in like 70 games for the NT and he was a Serie a/Bundesliga striker.

Say what you want about Cikaleshi but he has been a very serviceable player for the NT. And he worked his way up and earned his NT place.

Nor do we score many goals anyway. We are a team who has struggled to score even on San Marino and even on Andorra and consistently score no goals in high level games due to low quality and defensive tactics. We need a world class striker if you want anyone to put up big numbers with this team. You won't get much better than 41/12 until you get that

There is a difference between being a tap-in merchant against San Marino and Andorra than against real professional teams. Big difference.

It's actually insane how lucky North Macedonia is with their draws.

We know how they qualified to the Euros (most pathetic way ever) but now in the WCQ they have to compete with Armenia and Romania for a playoff spot...

When was the last time we actually got an easy group like that? Especially in the modern era where we had top 4 players.

The MAN registers a goal every 158 minutes for Albania. Posters on here are failing to realize that the hero of Kosovo, the giant Muriqi, only averages one every 201 minutes (10 goals in 2012 minutes).

Cikalleshi has carried us on his back since 2019 and it is time to put respect on his name!

And with Romania failing to win tonight they only need a home win against Iceland to secure the play-off spot. Insane luck...

Everytime I see Uzuni playing, I regret not further pursuing a football career.

I guarantee that I am better than him anyday of the week, both physically and technically.
