Albanians abroad

[Princ]

In Albania, success of athletes is sold as success of bureaucrats and politicians..

Not only that, but Albanian state has contributed 0 to formation of Vata as footballer.

Like wtf can Albania offer a player

If Rocco works hard enough, Albania can offer him the chance to put Duka’s face atop another qualification poster..

If that is not enough for him, he may also have the opportunity to be part of some politician’s political campaign.

Rocco benefits playing for Albania 100x more than playing for Ireland.

For Ireland there are no benefits. He will be another random player nobody will know or care about.

For Albania he can be a legend because it doesn't take much to be a legend for Albania. Amateur level players like Jasir Asani are legends for Albania. Just score a few goals and 10+ million Albanians will worship you forever. Besides the celebrity status it opens up doors for post career too.

While I agree as far as I know that kid doesn’t even speak Albanian, so who knows how connected he even feels to us.

But yeah playing for Ireland is madness, I’m fairly confident we’re a better team than them so that argument wouldn’t hold up from even a pure footballing perspective. Rudi has his problems with FSHF and Rocco is an adult making his own choices, just because his dad was the NT captain doesn’t mean anything to me really.

He could end up like Uzuni for all we know, lol.

By that logic, Xhaka and Shaqiri recieved no benefits in playing for Switzerland..

There comes plenty of benefits both during and after your career by playing for a country like Ireland.

There is also huge pride in giving back to a nation that has given so much to you!

Albania would be just trying to profit off him without having given anything in return.

Where is the pride in going over to fill FSHF pockets by playing for Albania?

The benefit of playing for Swiss is that they get to play in every world cup and Euro. Ireland is not Switzerland when it comes to talent so they don't qualify as often.

He would benefit from Albania just as much, if not way more. As I said, amateur level players like Asani and Uzuni are celebrities in Albania. If they were Irish they would be playing for Sligo Rovers and nobody would know they exist.

Arijon Ibrahimovic (Ibrahimi) signs with Lazio on loan. Silvinho needs to call him up.

Per cilen kombetare don me lujt Rocco Vata osht zgjedhja e tij. FSHF e ka obligim me provu me afru secilin shqiptar qe tregon ne fushen e lojes se ka mjaftueshem talent edhe aftesi me i kontribu ekipit kombetar. Pjesa skandaloze osht qysh opinioni publik ne Shqiperi e pranon edhe nuk e ka hiq problem qe nuk osht kontaktu kurre Rocco Vata se Armando Duka ka inate personale me baben e tij. Kombetaren shqiptare nuk e ka pjell nana e Armandos, edhe ne secilin vend afrikan ky ish super skandal por Shqiperia osht i vetmi vend i botes qe as trajneri, as drejtuesit e aq ma pak presidenti nuk pyeten nga gazetaret pse Rocco Vata nuk osht kontaktu e nuk osht ftu kurre. Rudi Vaten e kan intervistu edhe e kan pyet nja 100 here gati ne cdo dalje publike edhe ai e ka perserit nja 100 here qe ai edhe djali i tij kurre nuk jon kontaktu zyrtarisht prej FSHF-se.

This is absolutely correct, but we know our society is run by corrupt men like Duka. Albanian society just accepts it, a pathetic nation of people nowadays.
