And yet Serbia with 3x the population still needs Manaj to bottle a penalty to not lose.
Any team can be hard to beat at home, especially one plays as negatively as Albania..

Serbia is a regular at the World Cup and a Serbian team won the European Cup..

Albania doesn’t compare in football..

A Serbian has gone on arguably the greatest 5 year run in NBA history. Should have won MVP all 5 years in a row. Won the 1st championship ever for a small market team like Denver while never playing with another all-star on his team!

Just for reference, even legends like LeBron James had to go team up with other all-stars to win a championship in the NBA.

The Serbian men’s basketball team nearly beat the US in the Olympic semi-finals in what many consider the best game in history!

Afterwards, USA coach and 9 time NBA champion Steve Kerr said “I feel humbled to have been a part of this game.”

Serbia has also produced arguably the greatest tennis player in history!

Fix all the infrastructure you want.. can you seriously tell me that you see Albania rivalling the US in basketball..? Or producing the best tennis player..?

With improved infrastructure, I believe Albania can produce the best wrestlers and weightlifters in the world!

It’s a shame we are so behind at these sports that we are naturally predisposed towards..

Tall people sports just isn’t our thing and that’s OK!

The best basketball player in the world today is a Serb (and you realize how elite his competition is)

The best tennis player arguably of all time is a Serb.

What I'm saying is that they are a bad comparison for Albanians. So when redijupison brings up Montenegro to prove that they overachieve in comparison to Albania because of population it's a pointless point because they are Serbs and will produce world class athletes regardless. Same with Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia... They are at a different level and it's ok to admit it.

The point is that Albania and Kosovo NEED all the help they can get and that includes the diaspora no matter the generation. Need all the numbers and resources possible to be semi-competitive on a European scale, and even then still will never be world class.

Albania's sports development is just non-existent. Lots of insiders have spoken about this. Bushi was complaining that he had to teach people the basics of football. Fix that disastrous sports development and infrastructure and then we can talk about DNA.
Tbh, Bushi is part of the problem, Duka rules like an authoritarian with FSHF and only a yes man could work for him.

^^ It's all about creating the right circumstances for the youth to develope in. You do that and in 5-10 years you'll see very talented Albanian players popping up. There are no excuses, 10-15 years ago one could say the problem could've been financial, but FSHF has a lot of money now and the Superliga clubs too. The problem is that they have chosen the easy path, Albania's youth teams are filled with diaspora kids and the clubs are filled with foreigners :hi-bulku:

Them being slavs has nothing to do with developing good players in this time and age. They might have had a better system on youth development in the 20th century, but that's no excuse as to why Albania is terrible in developing decent footballers nowadays.

It's the same with North Macedonia, Slovenia and now Kosovo(after being accepted in intl. federations), smaller populations, but are far more superior than Albania in sports.



It has everything to do with it because tradition/culture/DNA travels along time. It doesn't go away.

It explains why Kosovars were and still are horrific at sports all the other Yugoslavs thrived at: basketball, volleyball, handball, waterpolo, tennis, etc.. Kosovo has produced 0 top athletes at any of those sports even though they lived in a super pro-sport regime. That's shocking.

And don't give me that "we were held back" myth. Fadil Vokrri proved it was possible to make it. It was a socialist regime where everyone was equal and sports were a top priority unlike in Albania.

Btw what sports is Kosovo good at right now since you want to talk about present... female judo??? LMFAO

Dude, you must be very ignorant on the Kosovo matter! Albanians had barely any rights until the 1974 federal constitutional changes which were taken away in 1989. Fadil Vokrri and the Prekazi brothers are rare case.

Kosovo with its diaspora is proving that tradition/ culture/ DNA is actually bullshit and a lame excuse for football. You also have micro countries like Iceland that seem to have found the recipe on how to develope continually talented players. You're making it sound like Albanians are mentally and physically inferior to other Europians :lol:.

Judo is very popular all over the world, and being world class at it its absolutely impressive. Wtf is waterpolo, lmao?!

Every Balkan country has big diasporas, this is a very lazy excuse as to why for example a micro country like Montenegro is able to develope 2-3 top 5 league players every 5-10 years and Albania isn't.

Here you are crying that some kosovar scrubs are stealing playing time from the albanian ones. Lmao, that pathetic :zgerdhimje:.


Monenegrins are south Slavs. They are very unique in general. They are gifted in sports by nature.

In Yugoslavia guess who was the black hole in sports?? Kosovo. While the slavs were producing world class after world player in multiple sports, Kosovo only had 1 "Fadil Vokrri" to show for. That's embarassing and it shows the difference.

Albanians simply need the numbers. They are not like the south slavs physically, culturally or mentally.
Ignoring the circumstances surrounding Kosovo during Yugoslavia just to suit your narrative? :zgerdhimje:.
