[WC 2018] Albania - Israel - November 12

I can't wait for Gdb to silence everyone with a win.:p

The plight of the Palestinian people and their struggle for freedom and self-determination shouldn't be neglected because they have shitty leaders.

I thought this was a football game

Lmao owner my nigga

I am pro Palestinian too but no need to incur fines over the flags. We have our own problems and the Arab world has not helped us one bit in our struggle for independence.


Albanian fans showing support for Palestine does absolutely nothing for Palestine and we will incur heavy fines. No need to take a moral stance here from a practical perspective. We all know how the world views these matters and 99% will not take an nuanced view of this issue and will just blame us as Islamic extremists.

Well, our opinions differ. An apartheid state deserves to be met with people showing them they're an apartheid state. I would have done the same with South Africa. Hell, do the same with Iran and Saudi Arabia.

I don't have a complex regarding what the media will say. It's not gonna change the opinion of anyone - those who support the cause will know why and for what reasons and those who are bigots will already have that view of a Muslim majority country.

Thanks to De Biasi we have lost the following players: Kace. Rashica. Berisha. Zeneli. Avdijaj all of whom are technically good and that have a footballing brain. You can tell why he got sacked in Italy, the guy is afraid to play offensive football as he's got no clue how to hence why he's rejected all the above players and continues to stick with Lila and kukeli. I can't see him leaving as he knows he would get fired straight away

De Biasi is allergic to technical players in general. That's why he never got any offers before and after the Euros(which is crazy considering his great results) but teams are not stupid, they look at everything. How he plays, tactics, etc. I was cringing when at some point he was rumored to England, Italy, Olympiakos and so on. His Enver Hoxha tactics work only with Albania but it will be interesting to see how long this can continue.

Agreed but we're not big players in the international arena and that will only damage us. Nobody's gonna think oh look Albanians are such a stand up people. The only positive coverage will get will be from the likes of Islamabad and online. That's why you have to be pragmatic.

For example in the US elections my main criteria for president is who's going to be pro-Kosova if things were to go South which is why I am pro-Clinton. Other policy matters like tax, healthcare and government's role in people lives come second to my concerns for the well being of my people. No fucking way I am taking a chance with Trump seeing how he cozies up to Putin.

You want good coverage? Bring both Israeli and Palestinian flags and have some positive messages about the brotherhood of nations. We would be first doing that so it'll reverberate all over the world. Hoping Eri Rama didn't just read this

We did meet Spain and noone bothered to put a sign for Basque countries or Catalunia . We met Romania in the Euros and noone put a sign for Szeklerland . Kosova will be playing Turkey and no fan will dare to contradict their daddy Erdogan over the Kurds causes. Told i'm fine if Edi Rama or the President backs the Palestinian cause but i don't want to see political banners except our national causes in our NT matches. I don't care what causes Vatican , Israeli, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Iran or Italy might have.

We experienced massacres by a country wanting our land. If somebody had taken an Albanian flag to a football match people would be really happy.

As i said, keep it outside the stadium. You know how you cannot dare a negative word against israel or you will be an anti-semetic racist. As long as it is outside the stadium we cannot be deducted points which is what matters.
