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!

I would expect if Zhegrova and Rashica were playing the game would be open a bit more but they weren't going to beat Switzerland regardless. Kosovo and Albania both have that inferiority complex.
With Zhegrova and Rashica it would be even worse because they don't track back to defend at all. The problem is that Switzerland look like scoring every time they go forward.
Before the game Murat Yakin said that this fixture is no longer a "brotherhood" (last 2 matches between them were settled as draws).. Man he wasn't kidding.

The Swiss had 0 fear of Kosovo scoring from the beginning. When you don't fear your opponent you can camp your entire team in the opposition final third and put in cross after cross. Kosovo has 0 counter attacking to punish them. A modern team needs balance
Kosovo just came in praying to defend for 90 minutes and hold on to a 0-0 draw. Once you give up the first goal the flood gates open.

Man, what's wrong with these coaches thinking they can go head to head against elite players with scrubs who play in Poland and Ukraine?
The player pool for Kosovo and Albania is only so deep. It's the harsh reality for small nations. What I don't find acceptable when they do have professionals but somehow amateurs start over them (Manaj, Asani, Balaj, Trashi, etc).
Loje ma te dobet as gjate epokes Bunjaki skan lujt, Dellova ne dy gollat e para katastrofal po per sa gabime individuale kan bo kan mujt me i hanger edhe nja 5-6 golla minimum
