Apparently Kumbulla has nothing and he's available to play for his club.
I knew it. That was more stress/fear related than anything. Probably ptsd from Mourinho. I suspect Bare will be available for his club too.
Tbh, rewatching the match, Kumbulla was getting all in Harry Kane's face. I don't think he gave a f***.
He's just made of glass. He's had injury problems forever.

Would not have made much of a difference either way but let’s be real
Considering Harry Kane's hat trick all came from Dermaku's horrible marking, I'd say yeah it would have made a huge difference.

I would consider getting full 6 points against a Hungary side that tied France and Germany at the Euros were the upset we needed. All we needed was beat Poland at home and we're through to the playoffs.
Beating Hungary is not an upset. They are around the same level. The upsets we needed were 1 game against a Pot 1/Pot 2 team. You can't get 2nd place without at least 1 major upset.

We all knew it too at the time that we needed to beat Poland because we all saw months in advance we were going to get massacred against England. Benching Broja and Balliu in place for amateurs in a must win home game.
Macedonia plays their best lineup and will call up any capable player no matter what origin they are Albanian, Macedonian or Turk. We instead accommodate super Liga rejects. Only Albania does this.
As many have already pointed out this is all Duka's fault. Until this fat bustard leaves FSHF not only we won't make any progress but we'll regress even further.

But I don't think anyone was expecting us to win both games vs. Hungary. Winning one game at home vs. Poland is not really an upset.

Albania doesn't really deserve 3rd place in this group. Hungary was very competitive against England and Poland. Albania was completely overwhelmed against them. 5-1 against Poland and 7-0 against England. You can't be the 3rd best team in a group and be totally overwhelmed by the first two teams. Doesn't make sense.
Hungary will be kicking themselves for losing to Broja. It cost them qualification.

Reja benching Bajrami... I predict 0-0 now.

They're really starting Seferi lol. I don't know why Doka and Cokaj aren't getting a look. We need to see what they can bring. A back three of Mihaj, Dermaku and Hoxhalladini is hilarious.

We deserved it despite Reja and his minions constantly sabotaging the team. Forget us having 0 offensive plan, but let's try practicing set pieces and not benching your best performing player.
Albania at full strength with Djimsiti/Kumbulla at the back, Balliu in WB, and Broja upfront, is a better team.

How is Muci still not starting? This team he fielded is semi-pro right now so we might actually not win today.

Albania U21 plays Kosovo U21 tomorrow in a qualification match. If not for that I would think Muci, Asllani and some others would be with the seniors. Or I hope so...
