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!

I don't think "Pelasgian" is a proper academic term. By that logic, 90% of Europeans are Indo-Europeans like Albanians so it shouldn't matter if they play for Switzerland either.
If they are produced by Switzerland, they should play for them..
Southern Albanians and Greeks are same people. That is to say, southern Albanians are the original Greeks.

^ Today he benched Sokratis. A guy with countless of appearances for Arsenal and Dortmund. Also a Greece international. That should tell you how well he's doing.
It's funny how every year an Albanian supertalent pops out of nowhere. 2/3 years ago it was Kumbulla, last year Asllani and this year this guy.
So another benchwarmer at a big club in 2 years time?

We should just forget about mercenaries, only go after kids who want to be part of the NT. Broja and his dad were intent on him joining Albania ever since he was a 15yo. Despite setbacks with FSHF he still came back. Screw these other guys.
Broja didn't even want to come but his dad made him.
Nowadays it's less nationalistic and people are more confused. Most are "mercenaries".
You guys forget that even Abrashi always told Swiss media that he plays for Albania because Switerland didn't have room for him. Now when players like that have that mentality imagine everyone else.
Well Dads matter no? Look at Januzaj or Rudi Vata's son. He's first generation immigrant so makes sense to pick Albania.

This dude is a 6"3 midfielder... Should've been called up a long time ago.
Actually, it seems he played last month for the U21. So we're good.
Florin Durmishaj played many matches for our U21 and was called up for him to only reject us for Greece. Even someone like Mihaj would have accepted a Greek call up in a heartbeat if he had the chance and publically made comments about it. Until Ndoj suits up for us I am skeptical.
True compatriots from Jugu
Lol Ndoj nga Jugu!!! Ndoj screams Mirdite/Lezhe region.

Asllani started against Bayern. Throwaway game but I heard he was decent.
Couldn't watch but I see mixed reactions by fans. What's funny is that Albanian fans are harsher than Inter fans who actually know what good players look like.
Fan favorites like Ramadani and Enriko Papa are not even allowed to enter the stadium in games like that. Literally.
Broja is expected to start today too. Big game for him.
He seemed to have been one of the better players for Inter and at worst he’s building the trust of his manager. I actually thought he’d be playing much less for Inter and would be in a dire situation like Kumbulla.
Regardless, he’s obviously a huge talent for us and will be an Altin Lala player for us for the next decade. We are really lucky to have him as he’d probably would have been called up by Italy.
I dont have much faith in the new manager but he will gain my trust if he just plays with the best 11 and doesn’t make stupid decisions like benching Asllani for Ramadani, Balliu for Trashi or Broja for Seferi. Only Albania does this.
