Slyvinho pulled a De Baisi with trying put on another defensive player to defend the lead and it almost back fired. We are gonna need all the luck in the world vs Spain.

Also Hoxha is super impressive; needs to start. Without him we probably wouldn't have tied it.

It DID backfire. Let's be real here. We dropped points.

Sylvinho doesn't know how to punish an offensive team. That's game over.

Hoxha was fantastic, multiple times he created chances whilst being double marked, he has the stop start accelerate decelerate quality you see from good wingers, he knows how to manipulate the ball that way and they struggled to tackle him. He walked all the way to the box multiple times with a double team on him.

He should start against Spain. I'm not sure who Sylvinho will pick for the attack, it seems very up in the air.

The only good thing to come out of this, is the team's spirits are lifted. If we lost here, we would be mentally defeated against Spain.

+1 for Hoxha, but he won't start. Sylvinho loves playing DMs as wingers.

Ideally Spain would win against Italy I think, because then they'll already be qualified and likely not want to risk any injuries against us before the next round.

Seferi's amateur play indirectly led to the 2nd goal. Of course it didn't directly cause it, but if instead of taking the worst shot of all time, he just passed to the 2 open guys besides him, that sequence of events wouldn't have happened, amateur play can cost you.

I don't think it is that crazy for us to beat Spain but we need to be a lot more serious and stop making stupid tactical mistakes, stupid subs etc and just play the best players.

Unfortunately I think Sylvinho will be cowardly as he has been these first two games and keep costing us points. It's so sad because the team has clearly demonstrated it has a quite high level, we could comfortably have taken 2 wins from the first 2 games with more application...

Ramadani and Laci bossing the midfield! Need to be starting every game together!

Everyone is celebrating this draw but to me it feels like a potentially nice upset and 2 points dropped.

Gjasula made up for his mistake but he was a disaster and so was Seferi (again).

The positive thing from this game is that Albania made a good impression in front of the world and earned respect! The opposite of the Italy game which was the most cowardly display ever.

My only worry going forward is that we can't seem to play a good game from start to finish. We need to pull off these stupid miracles/shenanigans to even get a result.

We just score a goal and then stop playing. Not just mentally checking out, but Sylvinho making cowardly sub as well.

If Italy wins or draws tomorrow, I think Spain is in danger of progressing.

Either way though. Albania needs a W

Maybe with this fake brotherhood crap out the window, Albania actually goes in guns hot against Spain.
