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!

Maybe the players don't really realise it but it actually offends me as a fan when I see that as well because we have supported them every step of the way. Just because you didn't go euros don't be sour and suddenly stop associating yourself with Albania if makes you look desperate.
Rashica has every right to be pissed. Imagine it was you, you just had an amazing season in Holland where you played every game you were available, scored 8 goals and assisted some more, had Uefa writing articles about the Albanian wonder kid and when it comes to the Euros some older player who plays in Croatia and only made one start the whole season is picked ahead of you. This may be the only major tournament you ever have the chance to go to with your country and you worked really hard to make sure you have a good season go there and you don't get picked when you were by far the best on your position and your competition in your position were basically on holiday all season and didn't try or stress whatsoever if they were going or not. Rashica being left out and Roshi being picked righfully should of made him really mad.
As long as you do not do anything like Shala it is fine. Nonetheless i also agree that he should of not changed his pic, i love my country and no manager or person can make that fade away.
If this was one in a lifetime opportunity for Rashica, he should have actually put some effort into Luxembourg and Qatar or U21 games, not walked out there. I would have taken him anyhow, but he's shown nothing special with us.
I'm more pissed about Gymcity who actually contributed during the campaign.

You know whats ironic though, Rashica played most of the year on the right wing with his team, the two times Rashica played with Albania he was put on the left. It's funny because De Biasi compared him to Callejon earlier this year who is a right sided winger yet he played him on the left twice. It just shows that Roshi was always going to be picked and so was lila because they both occupy that right mid spot. It's truly sad when trashy players like them get picked over a player who is better than them, and I've seen 80 percent of rashicas games and he's not a joke, he's direct, tricky and very hard for full backs to keep in check all game, of course he needs to improve on positioning but he is working towards it. Then you have roshi who has sprinter like speed but he's like an idiot with no brain. Maybe they should play him through the middle like Jamie Vardy no Center back will keep up with him.
Memushaj's Pescara on the road to get promoted to Serie A and he played 64 minutes before being subbed out while his team was leading (probably to save him for the NT) . He will be travelling with the Nteam to France this morning . Pescara's team has another two albanians in their main rooster , their return game will be on 9th of june .
Very good. Memushaj in Serie A next season, Abrashi in Bundesliga, Hysaj in Serie A, Avdijaj in Bundesliga, Gjmshiti in Seria A, Lenjani in Ligue 1, Rashica in Erdevise, Albian Ajeti in Bundesliga. Those are the confirmed ones so far, now if Kaçe, Xhaka, Sadiku, Ajeti and co get moves there will be even more.
People think the Euros is the pinnacle, but i believe it is just a step towards what will be a much better team in the next qualification.
