It’s nothing to do with height, genetics or anything of that nature. Actually latest stats show Albanians from Albania are just as tall now, funny that a nation finally has food and they grow.

It has everything to do with our country being so corrupt, so devoid of any sort of development for our country. Forget football, forget any sports , we don’t produce anything, all we do is launder drug money from top to bottom.

It’s a society problem. Albania needs to be burned to the ground and start over.

Question, has anyone here lived in Albania ?

Problemi ma i madh i futbollit shqiptar osht qe as nuk e ka provu a mundet me prodhu lojtar edhe a mundet me konkuru me Serbine, Kroacine e Sllovenine! Tek e fundit nuk osht as kunder Dukes as kunder asnje personi te pervecshem po 'modeli' qe Shqiperia e ka perdor osht nifar eksperimenti i lodhun rezultatet tregojn qe ka deshtu me prodhu lojtar, me arrit rezultate ne ekipe kombetare te moshave edhe nivel klubesh perveq Skenderbeut cdo vit osht kan deshtim. Nuk ki nevoje me shpik, veq me kopju cka bojn keto shtete. Merre si shembull Serbine ose Kroacine qysh klubet qe nuk e kan emrin Zvezda, Partizan, Dinamo, Hajduk mbijetojn ekonomikisht edhe funksionojn si klube tu rrit ose tu ble e tu zhvillu futbollista te ri edhe tu i shit ne vende tjera se prej pareve te biletave e drejtave televize ska shanca me mbijetu. Ne Serbi, Kroaci, Mal te Zi nuk ka nevoje per 'moratorium' per lojtar e huj se analizoj si Ligen e Pare apo Ligen e Dyte secili klub i ka ne ekip te pakten 5-6 futbollista U21 si mesatare se ki klube qe shkojn ne ekstrem si Lokomotiva Zagreb, OFK Beograd, Graficar qe aktivizojn ka tre a kater 16 vjecar ne formacion te pare. Analizoj kombetaret e moshave si te Serbia apo te Kroacia, dyja vendet kan sa dush serb e kroat qe lujn ne diaspore po ne U17 e ne U19 ftohet veq naj fenomen qe lun me naj super klub e konsiderohet si i predestinum edhe kurre nuk ftohen ma shume se dy apo tre, te gjithe tjert jon produkt vendas. Si Shqiperia edhe Kosova duhet me vendos moratorium per lojtaret e huj ma vjeter se 23 ne dy ligat e para ,edhe tre lojtar U21 ne formacion me detyrim, ni lojtar ne formacion U19 derisa klubet vetedijsohen qe i vetmi model biznesi me mbijetu osht lojtaret e ri.

Football needs to stop time whenever the ball is not in play..

Automatically ends players rolling around faking injuries, not picking up the ball to throw it in, kicking it away when foul is called, and all the other stuff that makes the game unbearable.

90 minute games are barely 50 minutes of actual play time these days!

The Bogdani/Skela/Lala generation aka the golden generation of Albanian football where they'd finish dead last in each qualifying group.

f*** those were the days! :D :D


They just didn't have professional defenders/goalkeepers and were leaking goals left and right. Different times back then.

But Bogdani, Skela, Lala would be guaranteed starters in today's team. They are actually what the team is lacking.

Ah yes Ervin Skela the golden boy of Albanian footballer spending most of his career switching between second league clubs and clubs ready to get relegated in Germany! The golden boy!

If Nedim Bajrami was from permet and played for that generation they would have built a 10 meter statue for them already. Guys like Bajrami and Asani contributed more to the national team in one qualifying cycle than 15 years of Golden Boy Skela. Skela wouldn’t even start in this team.

The only player worth a damn of that generation was Lala and you guys probably don’t even like him because he’s a gypsy. If Lala was from Gjirokaster you bet he would have an airport named after him by now!

And don’t get me started on the dragon slayer Igli Tare who could barely score 5 goals a season.

No shame in that..

Wrestling and weightlifting are historic and legendary sports..

Way more legendary than Football, Basketball, and other modern team sports!

There is a reason why there's a drastic difference between diaspora Albanians, and the ones at home. It's not "genetics", but training and conditioning. Now imagine if even all the people at home had the same training opportunities that Broja, Asllani, Shaqiri, Xhaka, etc. had.

A small country will never be a world class team. There are some very rare exceptions like Croatia, but that's not sustainable. With old Modric they couldn't even beat us. But if you have proper player development, conditioning, scouting, etc. you can do wonders.

Albania HAS succeeded at sports like weightlifting and wrestling..

The greatest weightlifter ever Pirro Dhima was an Albanian product.

Albania has had medalists at the European championships and even a world champion (Ymer Pampuri) at weightlifting.

In wrestling, Albania has also had medalists at the European championships.

Elis Guri won Gold at the World Championships for Bulgaria after having competed previously for Albania.


Weightlifting, wrestling, and now judo with Kosovo....

Those are the only sports Albanians can be "world class" at. It's also possible to be good at football, maybe not world class but good.

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?!
400 mije shqiptar i kan debu ne Turqi gjate qeverisjes se Rankoviqit, 80% e te burgosunve politik ne Jugosllavi jon kan shqiptar e veq 7% jon kan shqiptar ne Jugosllavi.

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!
Albania hasn't succeeded at any sport because we had no historical major cities. It was a bunch of small towns with 50k-100k max population. Tirana was a village when our grandparents were born. Nothing to do with short, medium, tall. The one sport where we do try is football, and per capita we're just as bad as Serbia.

Serbia has benefited from Belgrade being the capital of Yugoslavia, and getting a country of 20+ mill to dip all their resources into it. Albania had 800k people before WW2. And they still needed a miracle against Latvia not to tie like us, and need Sylvinho's help not to lose in Tirana. Try not getting embarrassed 5-0 against England with their superior genetics next time. :lol:
