Shqiperia londineze e ka detyrim me mbush stadiumin, se besoj qe numri i shqiptareve prej Kosoves e Ilirides do jete me i paket per kete miqesore.

For these kind of friendlies the FA should give away free tickets to pensioners.
It's useless to have the stadium empty.

It costs more to go to Albania's friendlies than Italy's.

Çmimi i biletave për këtë takim miqësor të Kombëtares shqiptare varion nga 1.000 – 3.000 lekë. Tribunat pas porte S dhe N, si edhe tribunat këndore E101, E109, E201, E202, E210, E211 do shiten nga 1 mijë lekë të rinj, teksa tribunat E variojnë nga 2.000 – 3.000 lekë.

Agreed. Or they should have sold both Czechia and Bulgaria games as a package.

Well even Italy's friendly games the stadium.is half-full unless they're playing Spain or Germany. In these cases you just give away tickets to those who can't afford to buy them like pensioneers or could sell family tickets where you buy 1 and you get 1 free or two and two ect.

The fundamental issue is that in Tirana there is not a lot of interest for Kombetaren among the general football fans. Our games have a lot of fans from Diaspora, Kosova and Macedonia. When I was watching Klan pregame coverage and they were talking to fans there was barely any one from Tirana that they interviewed.

I'd assume this will be the lineup against Bulgaria after Sylvinho's interview who said that there will be 3-4 changes.

------Strakosha-------
Balliu- Djimsiti - Mihaj - Mitaj
Muja - Asllani - Ramadani - Uzuni
--------- Bajrami ----------
------ Cikalleshi (Muci)---------

It's crazy that our "B" team is a world better than our "A" squad 5 years ago and might be even more talented than our 2014-2016 squad.

--Muci-Broja-Uzuini
-----Laci---Bare
-------Gjasula (Abrashi)
??-Kumbulla-Ajeti--Balliu
------Strakosha

I always thought that this was our most talented squad of players ever. What a mismanagement by Reja. Panucci gets a pass from me because that post euro squad was trash.

Panorama reporting at least 6 changes from last games:
