Albanian Football Forum

Laurit Krasniqi rains on the parade in Prishtina.

Bye bye Tirana!

Unfortunate for Laci but if we're being honest, this Moldovan team was better in both legs.

Albanian clubs didn't last long but it was expected. The greatest thing to ever happen to Albanian football (Skenderbeu) is not returning any time soon...

Did Laci sell their match or what? Wtf was that. Floodgates all open in 30 mins.

Total wipeout! A waste of time following these amateurs in Europe, this championship has reached Sunday League levels. Bravo Duka

Most important thing is that Albania has most "beautiful stadium on the region" and FSHF has better headquarters than Norway and Switzerland.

Wow Albanian teams are getting wiped out. Even Laci shouldn’t be losing to Petrocomb or whatever the team was called. Tirana getting absolutely embarrassed in back to back fixtures against amateur teams says it all. They’re a clone of Teuta from last year. Albania may just be the worst league in Europe excluding the village countries.

They need to bring back Skenderbeu. Atleast Takaj knew how to build a team. Tirana is clueless thinking xhixha and the random Brazilian dude are capable wingers at the next level. You need pace and dynamic players. Skenderbeu had it, Shkendija had it and looks like they might have the talent to qualify or make the playoff rounds, Shkupi has it, etc.

Drita managed to hold out till 52nd minute and then conceded in the 98th. 2 goals conceded over 2 games to Antwerp who are like 1000x bigger of a club. Decent fight. Same last year where they put up a very respectable performance against Feyenoord who are infinity times bigger of a club. (3-2 on aggregate iirc).

Meanwhile our league champion gets smoked by teams from Luxembourg and Bosnia. It's going to become a semi-pro league soon.

You could probably find teams in the 6th or 7th division over here in England better than Tirana.

Albanians clubs in general and especially Skenderbeu benefited for several years that Kosovo wasn't recognised from UEFA so they have been able to sign best talents in Kosovo without any compensation. Those days are already over, you won't be able sign the likes of Berisha, Latifi, Rrahmani, Jashanica, Mazrekaj, Abazi etc for free.

That's a good point but don't forget that the foreigners Skenderbeu got were high level too. Olayinka, Radas, Orelesi, Nimaga, etc were difference makers for Alb league standards. They also got the NT leftovers like Vangjeli from the Greek league and Salihi. That was a big deal back then.

Tirana tried to do the same with Ndoj and Ajeti and failed miserably...

Albanian teams today struggle getting half decent foreigners. The foreigners are supposed to be better than the local players.. That's not the case.
