For those living under a rock Serbia will be playing against Albania. And the past match didn't go so well.
Aristo95@reddit
Many Serbs don't even give a fuck. Firstly because politics here has way too much of an influence on football and national team selection and second because our team is shit anyway. I regret watching it at EURO last year, complete anti-football with no idea on how to organize an attack. That being said, Albania is bad too, so I predict 0 - 0 with pathetic performance from both teams.

fr albanians got so dissapointed on albania too, even though albanian diaspora filled the stadiums every time there was a match
Ok-Letter3775@reddit
Nothing will happen in Albania. The game will just go on normally and we will most probably lose this one. The problem is in Serbia, they have a bigger problem with hooligans and ultra nationalist groups who lead these fans. All the measures taken today in Tirana are just a stupid show, because they are totally unnecessary, especially in Albania where we donāt have problems with hooliganism, (i am talking about actually risking a fans, players or managers life and not the standard āSerbia, Serbia te qifsha motrenā call) like in Serbia.
It would be interesting to see how the serbian officials will prepare for the return match, because I am pretty sure you guys will fuck it up even more than the last time.
KingKlay11@reddit
How did Serbia f it up last time? They werenāt the ones who brought a drone in Serbia with a āGreater Albaniaā flag. Just curious what youāre referring to here lol
Ok-Letter3775@reddit
Albania didnt also bring a drone.
Well Serbia even knowing the importance of the game, it seemed they didnāt care about who is brought to the stadium, and other security meassrements. I guess the fact that they lost that game 0-3 shows they fucked up security meassurements, big time. How can you at any time risk the life of your opponent over a fucking flag. No policy or military even tried to stop any hooligan from entering the pitch. There were possibly no controls whatsoever, and the stadium was filled with hooligans eager to escalate to aggression at any time. The full stadium singing kill the Albanians, and you worry about a damn flag. If you would have worried so much about it you should have corrected your own map, and finally recognized Kosova.
KingKlay11@reddit
Any response to my previous comment? Also, please elaborate how Albania didnāt bring a drone. You saw last nights game? The hooligans yelling ā ļæ¼serbi serbi qefsha motrenā, throwing objects at Serbian players(3 separate occasions), flags of greater Albania, again. Letās not turn a blind eye to Albanias behavior if youāre not going to do the same for the Serbian people too. Be consistent when talking about a situation like this.
KingKlay11@reddit
Funny how Serbia is the one to blame, not the Albanian guy who brought a droneā¦if the drone incident doesnāt happen then I can guarantee you nothing happens to the Albanian players. Probably the guy shouldnāt have done that to risk his own players lives. And letās not act like the Albanians are innocent here. Remember when Albania played Croatia and started singing kill the Serbs? Why would they recognize Kosovo if they consider it their land? š Iām sure if the game was played in Albania first back then there would have been problems, but because it wasnāt and FIFA saw what happened the first time, security picked up real quick.
Rosinante25@reddit
If fans get into the pitch hitting players with plastic chairs and throwing wild shit at them, the organiser failed somehow along the way, bi matter what flag was thrown.
Aristo95@reddit
Yeah, well waving the flag of greater Albania (claiming parts of all four neighboring countries) while simultaneously crying about Serbian ultranationalism probably won't do much to keep focus on the game.
Ok-Letter3775@reddit
I can give you that, that flag is just stupid. But how can that flag be the reason to block the whole city so that the bus can pass by. Waving a flag (whatever it is) wont risk the players life. Dont compare waving a flag to actually getting inside the pitch and actually physically attacking the opposition players. What is more, singing kill the albanians is also not comparable with a fucking flag. It just shows you guys are always eager for aggression and always land on the wrong side of history, but I guess you are not ready yet for that discussion.
Dardanian_Mapping@reddit (OP)
you shouldnt call the flag stupid, i mean the drone guy was stupid, but that doesnt mean the flag is
Aristo95@reddit
I agree it's not the reason to attack the players and I have the same opinion on hooligans as you do. But it's an important for context, as it would be if someone waved a provocative Serbian nationalist flag above the stadium in Tirana. Forgive me for predicting that Albanian fans wouldn't stay cal either.
As for chanting "kill the X", it's unfortunately very typical for the Balkans in general. There were similar songs against Serbs on Albania-Croatia match at Euro last year. I am not saying Serbian fans don't do it, but to point at it as exclusively Serbian thing and completely disregard similar behaviour from other nations' fans is just yikes.
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
Serbia beat them 2-0, right? And the previous game was the one, where Albanian players got upset by Mitrovic, respectfully, taking down the fairytale map?
Donāt think anything interesting will happen tomorrow.
Dardanian_Mapping@reddit (OP)
can you please not be provocative man?
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
Where is the provocative part?
COOLSICKAWESOME1@reddit
"Soon you will claim UK" like you people don't claim every piece of land
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
Which land does Montenegrins claim? We have our small country and nobody bats an eye of the surrounding countries.
COOLSICKAWESOME1@reddit
im not saying montenegro specifically if anything i quite like you guys its just all the other ones lol so saying "you people" like we're the only ones that do is unfair
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
Bruh, Iām born and raised in Denmark. I donāt vote in Montenegro for obvious reason. I donāt live there. The only thing I see is Albanian trying to claim various part of other countries.
COOLSICKAWESOME1@reddit
surely you are intelligent enough to understand that its not only albanians that do this.... and you dont even live in montenegro and werent raised or born there so what possible input could you possibly have
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
Havenāt seen a single Serb, despite knowing plenty, that keep yelling āgreater Serbiaā like Albanians do with Albania.
COOLSICKAWESOME1@reddit
And I have seen much more serbs harrass online albanian creators, make propaganda posts about greater serbia and be a usual dickhead. So if we've both seen them happen, who's right? I believe you've seen Albanians preach about greater albania even though i dont see it, do you believe what im saying?
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
Seeing the other flag in the opposite video/picture/post isnāt the same as claiming parts of other countries, hence fairytale map.
COOLSICKAWESOME1@reddit
i really like just how doubled down you are on this š¹ always the ones that don't live close or even speak the language
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
I really like you have no response whatsoever š¤£ and why would I speak Albanian? Makes no sense š¤£
COOLSICKAWESOME1@reddit
You've been responded to multiple time š¹ but it's fine you just refuse to believe anything else than what you believe and your personal biases
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
āI like penguinsā is a response too in a way, but not a relevant one. Thatās your āresponsā š¤£
COOLSICKAWESOME1@reddit
god bless you brother enjoy denmark (not balkan)
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
No worries pal. People live in peace in Montenegro. Just like the rest of the Balkans could learn a thing or two about.
UgiSploogi@reddit
Isnt Kosovo Is Serbia same as greater serbia? I dont get it
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
When was Kosovo taken from Serbia?
If you cannot see the difference in that and wanting to claiming parts of Montenegro, Greece, Serbia and Macedonia, then there isnāt anything to come after.
COOLSICKAWESOME1@reddit
yup lol classic serb moment
Tiny-Mulberry-2114@reddit
COOLSICKAWESOME1@reddit
hey man ask HIM that
Dardanian_Mapping@reddit (OP)
btw albania also beat them 3-0 before that
Dardanian_Mapping@reddit (OP)
you called the map with autochthonous albanian lands a fairytale
Unable-Stay-6478@reddit
Should he be respectful toward that map?
Dardanian_Mapping@reddit (OP)
i mean at least dont be provocative about it
Stverghame@reddit
Yet you guys are screaming when Serbia shows a map with its legal borders, the same one recignized by about half of the world.
Dardanian_Mapping@reddit (OP)
Dang, you got a point there
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
It is an Albanian fairytale map. Soon you lot will claim UK and other parts of Europe too.
yowspur@reddit
or Greenland. Oh wait, that's taken.
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
Donāt care a single bit about Greenland. If they want 100% independence, so be it, but mainland Denmark shouldnāt send a single DKK to them. They community functions thanks to the money we send to them.
yowspur@reddit
Yeah, you only seem concerned with Albania for some reason
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
I donāt see any other nation claiming other countries.
Dardanian_Mapping@reddit (OP)
no, we will not
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
No, UEFA did.
Dardanian_Mapping@reddit (OP)
oh yeah, i forgot about that
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
Iād prefer a rematch on a neutral ground. Just like I think it should have been vs Romania 12-18 months ago. Not a fan of these types of games.
Hopefully everything will be āchillā. Rivalry is good, hatred is not.
kinkakujen@reddit
The only thing fairy tale here is your entire nation, mister Serbias inflammated appendix.
MoneyLaunderX@reddit
Sure pal š¤£
mermaidworker@reddit
I rarely watch football.
PlamenIB@reddit
Where are they going to play?
Dardanian_Mapping@reddit (OP)
Tirana National Arena
PrettyChillHotPepper@reddit
Is it with the audience allowed?
Is Tirana packed with Serbs rn?
Lakuriqidites@reddit
No, Serbians arenāt allowed, and Albanian fans arenāt allowed in Serbia too. The match is just too high risk.
I wish UEFA didnāt allow it
SageMitso@reddit
Wait, is that for real. Like you guys can't buy tickets. Thats pussy.
Lakuriqidites@reddit
What does that even mean?
SageMitso@reddit
Let fans of both teams into the stadiums. Cant ban people proactively. Thats what a pussy would do, let fans of both teams into the stadium.
GodIsGracious3@reddit
I think the most fair solution would be to play both games behind closed doors.
This way you are just creating very hostile environment for both teams.
PrettyChillHotPepper@reddit
So it's just Albanian spectators? That sounds unfair.
yowspur@reddit
why?
PrettyChillHotPepper@reddit
Because only one team having the moral support of their supporters isn't equal. Serbian team must be a bit demoralised to not have any cheering going on for them.
yowspur@reddit
but it will be the same for both matches - no away fans. How is that unfair?
PrettyChillHotPepper@reddit
Well, on each match each team has a disadvantage, I'd still be a bit sad if I was a player.
yowspur@reddit
sad but not unfair
Lakuriqidites@reddit
It isnāt unfair, the same will be in Serbia.
What do you want people beating each other to death?
PrettyChillHotPepper@reddit
I don't, but for the team, it must not be very nice to not have any supporters cheering them on.
yowspur@reddit
Are drones allowed?
Dardanian_Mapping@reddit (OP)
Idk
kretenizam@reddit
Albania and Serbia getting ready to embarrass themselves to the world once again.
yowspur@reddit
Albania is not claiming Serbia lol
tiranazero@reddit
Lol who would want to claim that shithole
tiranazero@reddit
most Albanians in Albania, me including are down south for the weekend, its the first hot weekend of the summer, and everyone is down the coast plus there's a music festival in Dhermi, I don't think its that big of a deal as the first game, I have heard a lot of Albanians from Albania have sold their tickets to Albanians from Kosovo, so I am expecting fireworks, I hope they eat them alive right through the bone and cartilage.
taYetlyodDL@reddit
Nothing is going to happen
TheGringoLife@reddit
Exactly
red-panda-returns@reddit
Question is, is fifa ready for backlash if something goes wrong? The whole world told em š¤£
Stelist_Knicks@reddit
Fifa? It's be uefa facing the backlash. Uefa organized the match.
Dardanian_Mapping@reddit (OP)
i mean they legit should be
red-panda-returns@reddit
I'm just kidding they for sure are. Unlike the two playing countrys š they never able to justify the bad sportmanship
Ladz95@reddit
Nothing interesting about that game for me
IAMTHAT9@reddit
Yeah for me neither, i hope there wont be any issues.
GoHardLive@reddit
Politics aside, that game will be a must win for Albania if u wanna have any hopes for qualifying to the world cup
IAMTHAT9@reddit
That is true! ššÆ

Nothing with happen tomorrow. All Ultras groups are banned, all you will see is people working for the Government, the Football Federation and fucking Influencers. Hell, even the travel agencies got thousands of tickets. Maybe we will see some fighting in the field but nothing on the stands.
