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!

Spain had 80% possession in the first half vs Italy. Sure we could do a better job starting counters(Lila, Xhaka are not gonna do it) but Spain is just too good at keeping possession.

That's the problem with the way DB plays against big teams. You're supposed to defend + counter, not just defend and concede possession as soon as you get it.
Look at the games vs. France and Portugal. Hold on until you get tired and concede late in the second half, with 0 attacking threat doesn't work.

Roshi is playng good . Would put Grezda/Aliji or Latifi in for Lenjani during last minutes. Also i think he will sub memushaj for Abrashi or Kukeli and maybe Cikalleshi for Balaj.

Nah Spain is just a impossible, especially for us. We don't have any counter attacking players. Bekim "wood legs" Balaj has the touch of a rapist.

We don't need any "counter attacking players". Just some guys who kick a ball somewhat accurately down the field, and some fast players (Roshi,Lenjani).
I'm not asking them to score on the counter, just relieve the pressure. We can't concede the ball as soon as we get it. We're putting too much pressure on d.

Lila needs to be subbed for abrashi or basha. Making too many mistakes. We need to retain posession in order to use our attacking players. Balaj must press and not just look.
