Good news is that it will be very difficult for Albania to perform worse than they did last time at Wembley especially in the first half. It’s hard to be optimistic when Aliji is starting as the left-back, let’s hope this turns out to be one of those days where Asani and Bajrami step up and score spectacular goals.

If Aliji starts at LB that will be hilarious. These guys couldn't find someone else?

Anyways this is going to look like a complete embarrassment. 6-1 England.

A loss is guaranteed but just hope they cross the half way line and try to attack a little. That's my biggest fear when Albania plays these big teams. It's not the result but the cowardly mentality.

Not creating any chances is way more embarrassing than any result

Woooow!

Uzuni draws the start up top!

Myrto made a good impression with his play against Ukraine!

He goes from getting snubbed hard by Sylvinho to now starting at Wembley!

Broja needs to play at least 20-30 mins.

This is the most multi-ethnic Albanian team in a while

Aliji and Bajrami on the left is a disaster waiting to happen. Not sure what Sylvinho is thinking.
