Really surprised by this loss of BiH. They plundered Estonia 5-0... then went on to lose vs. Belgum 4-0 away. Not typical BiH, but I guess every NT has its own bad day some time.

Morten, what about Veton Berisha... why didn't the Norway coach call him up? Is he injured or something? I saw a couple of matches of him for Greuther Furth in Bundesliga 2 and he was quite talented. Would his brother Valon (one of RB Salzburg's key players) get a starting role in the Norway NT...

Ciro Blazevic rumored to be a potential coach of Kosovo NT next spring. He might as well die while coaching the team... but hey... he led BiH NT to play-offs of World Cup qualifiers in 2010, losing to Portugal, so I expect he might still have something in him to make his stint at the Kosovo NT a...

I'd consider the overall Kosovo NT squad way more talented than Albania's, specifically in the technical part. Still in the contrary, I think that Kosovo would've been at least similar in quality with Bosnia if they had some players from the Albania NT like: Abrashi, Kukeli, Hysaj, Mavraj...

No... they simply didn't deserve it. Kosovo had a couple of scoring chances, but that's all. The pathetic defending and playing a very attacking 4-1-4-1 formation with only 1 midfielder that has defensive abilities (heck, not even Barca does that) took its toll and here's the result now...

Kosovo's defense resembles Gibraltar's... what a shame. All that attacking talent only to be wasted by pathetic defending and disastrous goalkeeping. Croatia deserving the lead and dominance.

Splendid atmosphere in Shkoder (temporary stadium of Kosovo NT), ahead of the match between Kosovo and Croatia. No fighting, no racism, no calling for violence, no death-wishing etc. Kosovars and Croats celebrating together: https://web.facebook.com/portalikohanet/videos/537872879736255/...

Because Nasri has been in top 3 of the players with most distance covered in the two full matches that he played, is brilliant with the ball, not selfish, and tracks well at the back when needed (at least while in Sevilla). Konoplyanka has neither of these traits, rather the opposite, and what's...

I see Barca is set at 13:00... never happened before as La Liga usually has 1 match from all the round at 12:00 on Sunday. Any more information as to how early will now the games be played... how many games will be impacted per round... in what time interval (Spanish time)?

I like Sid Lowe's articles most of the time. This is also an interesting one, however, this unnecessary fuss about Las Palmas is quite wrong. They are not even the same as Hercules with Trezeguet and Co. If you watch them from a neutral point of view, especially the first two matches, you might...

Sympathetic? Pathetic would be a better fit. Did you see the time-wasting and dirty play? All they've had was 1 clear chance through a lucky shot on goal, taking advantage of the sun (Rico with limited sightseeing)... and parking the bus all the time and trying to hopelessly counter-attack. What...

Fucking time-wasting, dirty, bus-parking motherfuckers.... the "Leicester" of La Liga... yeah right... Leicester are GODS to Las Palmas this disgrace of a team for football!

Let's all agree that racism is bad and it should not be rationalized by any means. It's a fact though, that serbs are extremely nationalist and the hooligans are out of their minds most of their time. However, the only one to blame is their government with their rigged system that allows these...

UEFA won't ever allow it. They already made a mistake with Albania and serbia in the same group. In youth competitions (U21, U19, U17) it might be fine... although still risky in U21 level.

Dream debut for Kosovo... plundered Finland and unlucky to come out with 3 points!

Vitolo man of the match.

It's a loan without a buying option. The last chance for Nasri to revamp his career... if he fails here, he'll be done!

He's not going to get more than Copa Del Rey minutes at Sevilla. Franco Vazquez, Ganso, Correa, Iborra, Sarabia, Nasri.... no space for the kid. Unless he'll accept to play as DM. Did he ever play DM or deeper CM role?

Nope... simply couldn't get a regular place in Sevilla because of poor performances. Bacca's case was totally different. He was Sevilla's best striker after Kanoute and Fabiano.

Kono just didn't cut it at Sevilla. Perhaps it wasn't his team or environment... but he is very selfish and that is not quite welcomed in football. Emery dislikes selfish players like Deulo and Kono, but from the two, I'd rate Kono better as he is more skilled and can perform decently when in...
