I'm hoping Lila and Shala get injured so that Rashica and Aliji get called up. It's amazing how Rashica and Aliji who play in descent leagues are left behind but Shala and Lila who play for some shitty clubs and league are chosen.

I know some from 'Republic of Albania' but its not as if the word has ever come up. I mean with the ones it has come up, this is just a common word.

I'm just messing with you.

There will be no more injuries. At least 99 per cent unlikely as must leagues are now finished. Holland,Germany,Spain done. Italy and England will finish tomorrow.

Might as well not watch Albania, we are going to lose every game.

Well the list is out it seems, just needs to be made offcial. No Rashica. De Biasi really could of called him up, yes people were calling for Manaj, Avdijaj, Zeneli and Meha but come on. He had 23 plays and he could not call up Rashica? The player who out of all Albanians world wide had the best season. A player who we are desperately lacking in attack. A player who all fans wanted at the Euros. A player who the players we have in his position have had awful seasons.

For all the good De Biasi has done he just made a huge mistake. Very very poor decision.

Switzerland say they have spoken to fifa and they have been told players who have played official games cannot switch to Kosova.

This is good for our Albania team. It will remain strong and the main team.

Link?

No they're not. Albanian teams are shit, but no different than most other Balkan teams. The only difference is that we don't have local powerhouses like D. Zagreb and R. Star Belgrade/Partizan.

Kosova has been semi-pro up to this point, with 0 infrastructure and proper investment. They'll need at least 5 years to get there. Don't forget that Albanian teams have gotten hundreds of thousands/millions of euros over the years from UEFA that Kosovan league hasn't received.

Hopefully he gets some playing time in the upcoming friendlies and prove De Biazi wrong

De Biasi has already scouted Rashica and he doesn't see anything special in him(and I agree). Him not getting called up is not a surprise at all. He will play for Kosovo btw.

Only thing that surprises me a little is Shala over Aliji. So Lenjani would be Agolli's backup at LB I'm guessing?? But Shala hasn't done shit. I guess DB likes him.
