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!
Berisha is definitely a product of Kosova. But yeah kudos to Di Biasi for not even trying to compete with superliga trash like Muzaka and Lika(he actually started a match lol). We got our moneys worth out of him unlike former managers who just collected paychecks and were okay with drawing Malta. Was it Haahn who started Skela when he was playing for a 3rd division Polish side?...
Although his lineup choices are questionable he(GDB) has shown to be a decent tactician this campaign. I just hope he doesn't make me eat my words today.
Yes, skela was playing in Poland and Duri without clubs ...We also played best Bosnia lineup twice with players without clubs and still managed to get a 1:1 at home . GDB like all italian catenaccio coaches wants the result before anything and plays it safe , if we manage to score and he puts in another CB then we are done like always will conceede towards the end...

You should arrange them by % because we actually are one of those teams that doesn't like having possetion and have few passess compared to medium level teams.

LOL but not surprised at all. It makes perfect sense.
In the friendly against France the midfield of Kace-Basha-Memushaj probably completed more passes than Xhaka-Abrashii-Kukeli have done in their last 5 matches.
Kukeli is actually a pretty decent passer but when he has no one to pass it to it's pointless.
Albanians in general just can't pass the ball and play together. Also De Biasi prefers the scrappy dog style anyway..
Just check out the Facebook-page SHQIPERIA IME - they're posting some of the videos in there instead.
Yes , i'm following them too guess the atmosphere must be crazy out there
Ps. You should get the link of the post from facebook and use the mobile version on advanced editor post putting the link between the facebook tag to embed those posts
How come Shqiperia is ranked 3rd and Denmark 2nd on the Uefa website right now? The tie-breakers according to the uefa rules are:
13.01 If two or more teams in the same group are equal on points on completion of the
group matches, the following criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine
the rankings:
a. higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the
teams in question;
b. superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in
question;
c. higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams
in question;
d. higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played
among the teams in question;
e. if, after having applied criteria a) to d), teams still have an equal ranking,
criteria a) to d) are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in
question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a
decision, criteria f) to j) apply;
f. superior goal difference in all group matches;
g. higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
h. higher number of away goals scored in all group matches;
i. fair play conduct in all group matches as defined in Annex C.5.1;
j. position in the UEFA national team coefficient rankings (see Annex B.1.2.b).
So, we each have 1 point against each other, and we have a superior goal difference (+5) whereas Denmark is only +4. I sense conspiracy.
It's Euros and it counts the away goals first of all , if it was Wc then we would be second . They have an away goal and we don't , that's why even if we draw them it should be 1:1 at least
