What's going on with Serbia being non chalant about loosing 1:0 to Albania?

Everyone is talking about it in a way that you already understand whats going on.
What I understand: Serbia lost to Albanka a really important football match which decided who went in the World Cup. Serbians aren't mad because their busy being mad at their government. Are you all still fighting and protesting there?
Sorry I don't really keep up with this news, because usually it becomes obsolete after a couple months.

We are currently having major sex scandal. Everyone is on social networks trying to find sex tape of retired football player (son of football legend) and trans person with a penis.
Glittery_Marshmallow@reddit
omg, if it is not a child and it is consensual, it is not a scandal. also, why do you want to watch a man fuck a man so desperately? just go watch gay porn.
Ablefarus@reddit
It's because this guy is your prototypical jokey, who is more famous for his long term relationship with a famous actress and propagating 'family values' and his father who is the same as him, than for his football career. He is your ordinary dumb bully, basically antiLGBT activist and people want to see him humiliated
siromasni-carevic@reddit
Because they managed to ruin football. The entire federation is corrupt, along with the coach. The coach is there only because he supports the ruling party. It was also clear that even the basketball players, who were the main talk at the European Championship, didn’t look motivated to play. Politics has infiltrated every part of society. People have had enough. Also, tickets for this match weren’t on sale because only people from the federation and those chosen by the government were allowed to attend. Nothing against the government was allowed to be heard in the stands. At the match against England, hooligans beat people in the stands who were chanting against the government. That’s why this loss doesn’t matter.
Financial_Value6545@reddit
We are luckier than you. Our football is corrupt to the bone but is the private kingdom of our president of Albanian federation of football. Politics has tried to get it under control but has failed every time. His name is Armado Duka but the people know him as The duke of crime. Even though is not that old he has managed to be very involved with high administration in wefa and fifa. He is president for life.

The sleazy motherfucker the dukovič
WestConversation5506@reddit
Nah man you don’t understand. It’s not just regular corruption that you will find in football. Vucic has effectively has tightened his grip on everyday life in Serbia to the point basic activities are no longer freely enjoyable if you don’t submit to overlord Vucic. Watch I bet the next coach will be loyal to Vucic and won’t be chosen for his skill to lead the football team to championships.
Prior-Leave-6610@reddit
I think your comment is a bit over the top, we are not North Korea, but we are in the way of becoming one.
kiki885@reddit
Way over the fucking top. I think becoming North Korea will never happen, but becoming Belarus sounds a lot more realistic right now than it did a year ago.
Financial_Value6545@reddit
I am sorry to hear that. I wish to make an open prayer to God. Dear Lord who has made heaven and earth please hear my prayer. I pray for the liberation of your people the Serbs from this terrible burden. Help Alexander Vuçic to have the same reward that you have for dictators and oppressors. May he soon hang from a flag post in Belgrade. And may your hand bless all the people on this planet. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
_Botko_@reddit
Also this might be a tipping point for people with "neutral" stances, people that are not aligned for government and neither for protesters. They are losing "games" part of "bread and games", and you can't really ignore connection between this coach and president, when they take 300 pictures together before every major tournament.
_segamega_@reddit
power struggle. similar kind of people on opposite sides. just watch them deeply hate each other claiming they are real deal.
Stverghame@reddit
Tbh people stopped properly caring about football long ago as our team is shit.
But seeing how Albanians act disgustingly after their triumph, caring more about shitting on Serbia than celebrating their deserved win, makes me hope they crash into a wall soon enough with their team as well lol
PlayfulMountain6@reddit
Lol, even in the tv were heard fans shouting for Kosovo. They look to care more about the match of course
Stverghame@reddit
What?
PlayfulMountain6@reddit
It is a football game. The fans in stadium seemed to cared more about Kosovo though
Stverghame@reddit
The same way Albanian redditors care about... killing Serbs more than caring about how their team won?
che01_@reddit
He got moderated in the sub as soon as mods found out. His opinions are his own and don’t represent Albania.
You can’t say “we didn’t care” and act like 0 fucks were given. When it comes to us every single tiny mini competitions of any kind matters in a way for the people. But, as long as we are competing with a ball in a stadium and not with guys all is cool and good. I hope next time fans will be allowed and maybe we learn to enjoy the sport alone. What goes around comes around… some says you win other you loose. Today we celebrate, and it’s good we do so tomorrow you will and again it’s good too also. Sometime we will tie so big celebrations 😂
HornyEagles@reddit
Youre just trying to add fuel to the fire… during the live match the “fans” were screaming kosovo until Albania scored.
Albanians are out in the streets to celebrate the well deserved win - especially against their national rivals. Fanstics exist everywhere and you searching for reddit posts isnt going to prove “albos are the aggresors, serbs are calm” especially given the sensitive nature of our countries relations… so lets cut the shit please.
We won, we’re celebrating. That’s that.
Ok_Stretch_405@reddit
That was shameful. I bet such person would post that regardless of the match or any other event.
Zealousideal_Edge262@reddit
Na dude that’s just a stupid dark meme and we kinda joke on how suicide is very common for serbs (or “the forever enemies”). Also we joke how being gay is okay for serbian culture lol just like serbs use the goat fucker meme against us, nothing too deep
Stverghame@reddit
Suicide is not common here at all. This is not even a joke, suicide is a serious topic. Go ahead, find excuses. Never accepting that your side often acts horrible, it is always a "joke" or "well deserved".
Zealousideal_Edge262@reddit
It is very common just like being gay is lol
PlayfulMountain6@reddit
Oh Reddit over real fans in stadium. Sure 😅
Stverghame@reddit
People are people, regardless of where they are lol. What kind of argument is that?
PlayfulMountain6@reddit
You re talking about albanians. Have you seen serbs or they arent people? Lol
Stverghame@reddit
You are mouthful when it comes to Serbs, so you need a sober response to show you the other side of the coin. There's no need for me to talk about Serbs.
PlayfulMountain6@reddit
You were mouthful about albanians. There's no need for me to talk about albanians lol
Glittery_Marshmallow@reddit
Those weren't fans. Those are goverment selected ex cons and hooligans. Actual people weren't given the chance to even buy tickets if they cared enough to go.
Short-Description684@reddit
That is a common thing with fake Serbian patriots (fake ones are the loudest ones). They have slogans, they are very loud, and at the end Serbia always loses (no matter what, Serbia always loses with them)... Zero people from that fans will volunteer in the army to defend Kosovo, or Belgrade, or anything else... They would send to war some random people, but their job is just to be loud...
I hope that fake Serbian patriotism will become obsolete, and it would be great that Albanian win in Leskovac contribute to their failure...
No-Knowledge9609@reddit
How are Albanians acting disgustingly? The only ones chanting death and murder are the Serbs. Including yourself in this comment; wishing that Albanians to crash into a wall. So murderous and hateful you all are. O in this world all justice will prevail. Go light a candle and wish you find peace in your disturbed heart.
PlayfulMountain6@reddit
It is not normal when you lose. You always have other "priorities"
MoreFeeYouS@reddit
Please accept that for a change you guys are not the main talking point or adversary in Serbia.
You will be again, don't worry. But until then, sit down, relax and enjoy your deserved win.
henri12s@reddit
What is the sentiment in serbia , i am curious ,does anybody say that what they did to kosovo people was horrible ? Reminder -they killed people and i dont know if serbian people feel sorry about their goverment’s actions ?
MoreFeeYouS@reddit
It doesn't help the sentiment when west portrays one side as an aggressor and the other as a victim without any middle ground.
Then somehow that victim side got their own country and American military base in it to be as close as possible to a Russian ally.
So yeah, kind of hard to feel like an aggressor or feel bad.
henri12s@reddit
Yeah but ukraine is the victim not the agressor , and kosovo was never a natural part of serbia , it always was historically albanian territory with ethnic albanians living there , so i dont really get the analogy.
MoreFeeYouS@reddit
Just like Albania claims Kosovo "has historically always been Albania" so does Russia claim parts of Ukraine "have always been Russian".
Both Russia and Albania claim the exact same thing, yet in your eyes one is considered an aggressor and the other one is a victim.
henri12s@reddit
Because serbians entered kosovo and killed people not the other way around so the analogy is not correct yet.In your logic “Ukraine attacks Russia” which kosovo never did or remotely took any action against serbians , life is the most precious thing in this earth and serbians entered and slaughtered albanians in kosovo . How can you not agree that that is absolutely wrong .
MoreFeeYouS@reddit
Serbia didn't "enter Kosovo". Kosovo literally was part of Serbia at that time. It's also like saying "Ukraine entered Donestk".
Russia claims exact same things that Ukraine was oppressing the ethnic Russians in the border regions.
Albania will claim that Serbs slaughtered them. Serbia will claim they were protecting their oppressed minority.
At the end the outcome was that Kosovo was made independent by the USA intervention, and "it's how it should be". Yet if Luhansk/Donetsk/Zaporozhia were made independent by Russia it would have been an imperialist aggressive trying to conquer the world.
henri12s@reddit
Serbia was protecting a territory in which 98% of the population was albanian ? Wake up man ,Miloschevic was a Monster.And the fact that you try to justify this is like crazy. No wonder kosovo people hate you guys if you mantain this kind of atittude.
henri12s@reddit
And albania might claim things ,but they did not attack you ,so the Russian analogy doesnt make any sense , And who says russia is doing something right anyways
Ok_Ladder1279@reddit
I hope you guys get rid of that moldy bstard ruining your country. Serbia genuinely has potential to be something great but its always people like Vucic holding it back and driving hate into his people's hearts. Fck him.
Prestigious-Fish-925@reddit
At least they do something. We just take the first airplane ticket
Rotfrajver@reddit
To be fair, I watched the beginning of the match and quit ten minutes in.
I really didn't care, and even slightly wanted Albania to beat Serbia today.
It's just another show of V#çic messing his hands in everything, down to straight up moving the game to Leskovac instead of Belgrade, just because he knows if real fans were there, they'd absolutely destroy his and the coaches ass with all the shouts being pointed towards them.
Also our football players are playing like such pussies with no brains, and the most interesting thing is to see which of their wives cheats with which teammate.
Prestigious-Fish-925@reddit
Tell me more about wives cheat
PlayfulMountain6@reddit
Believe me, our Pm use that in his favour to. He does that always. Do not listen to medias if you believe that people here like him. But that is football. I will not stop supporting my national team or favorite team only because of the PM
Rotfrajver@reddit
They don't deserve my support, they do not represent my country.
Neither the fucking president, he's not my president.
Prior_Kick2693@reddit
Hopefully you guys get rid of your dictator and we get rid of ours in Albania in the near future. Maybe we could even elect leaders to create better countries for both. Sadly our two dictators have both started to import thousands of migrants to replace our people. Soon Serbia and Albania will be united as a little India.
imejezauzeto@reddit
Seriously who gives a fuck about football when our whole country is falling apart??
No-Knowledge9609@reddit
O now you don’t give a fuck about the football match, now that you lost to Albania in your house? What happened to those chants of murdeing the Albanians . U a bunch of sour losers
MasterofDads@reddit
To be clear, neither team will likely make it to the World Cup, they still have a long way ahead of them
No-Knowledge9609@reddit
Albania will make it to the World Cup. We have the momentum; whaat the Serbs are saying here is simple ; they’re justifying the loss with their corrupt govt or coach; Non sense- if their coach was so bad ; how come they didn’t get rid of him in 4 years ? Vycic is so bad ; why don’t they overthrow him; vote for someone else? Sour losers. Just take the beat, reflect on the players and formation and look forward.
Spervox@reddit
Vučić sent degenerated ćaci's at Eurobasket to prevent anti-Vučić cheering which caused bad mood among players
Vučić expelled ATP 250 Belgrade open from Serbia because Đoković supported students.
Let alone football association which is fully under Vučić control by every possible aspect unlike other sports, they choosed Leskovac instead Belgrade just to avoid anti-government cheering from fans.
Absolutely most degenerated government in Serbian history without competition
RealShabanella@reddit
It's a mafia organisation posing as a government
Wishart2016@reddit
Don't they have literal mafiosi as Ministers. Apparently the Health Minister is an actual murderer for the Zemun Clan.
Mou_aresei@reddit
Yes, to become a name in the current government, you have to be deeply corrupt with a criminal dossier. I am not exaggerating, in the government everyone has everyone else by the balls. No one can get to any position of authority if they have a clean history.
RealShabanella@reddit
Yes, this is also correct
mountainslav@reddit
We’re too tall for soccer anyway. Leave it to the short Mediterranean people. Basketball chads for life
zoken336@reddit
you lost to finland this eurobasket, and crna gora lost to faroe islands, i think you just suck at sports tbh
mountainslav@reddit
Ur 174cm on average lmao the size of our women, lower centre of gravity of course u will do well at soccer
HuygensCrater@reddit (OP)
Yeah I heard before that yall are into basketball, that makes sense. Still football should still have some meaning?
Horror_Chipmunk3580@reddit
Serbia produces some great football players on individual level, but you have to be a masochist to care about them as a team. With how much they choke against what should be easy wins, they should be making gay porn.
According_Tax8778@reddit
Ofc it has, they lost and have to cope and act nonchalantly.
2024-2025@reddit
Lame excuse, Croats are tall and got three World Cup medals.
AndrewM96@reddit
Serbia is busy with their own crap and Albania is busy with the war against Aberbaijan. They can't care on a football match right now.
TopObjective754@reddit
I thought it was Aberbaijan
Chocolategogi@reddit
Man, Serbia could have lost to other team, it would be the same. Why bother about qualification if from decade they play not that good and lose after all at the firsts match.
Plus, every match with Albania, Kosovo or Switzerland make to much noise with all these politics around. And the top of that, how it's possible to be such lucky to be so much times in same group at these competition, euro, WG etc.
If we just could let alone all conflict consideration, some folks from both side are trying, so other countries should. Thank you
It's just a defensive mechanic to not being to much disappointed, I think.
IndigoMoonMan@reddit
It’s really strange. Kids in Serbia play football from a very young age, and there are plenty of football clubs here. I feel like the Serbian national team could perform just as well as the basketball team.
shqipe81@reddit
Bravo shqiperi. Gur, gur bëhet mur💪🇦🇱
Bilbolbu@reddit
Most people don't consider this to be the national team of Serbia anymore, it's rather viewed as Vučić's team. The coach is an obnoxious charlatan and football dilettante who should've been fired a long time ago but isn't because Vučić has his back and because our football association is deeply corrupted since the ruling party is pulling all the strings.
Tickets weren't even being sold for this match but handed out to the ruling party members and loyalists out of fear actual fans might publicly display their contempt for the government, Vučić, the football association, the coach, etc.
Many people are actually glad this is happening because it just proves yet again how everything Vučić and his cronies lay their hands on goes to shit.
I for one am glad Vučić's asslickers had front row seats to watch their team get beat in real time by none other than Albania. Fucking brilliant.
Wishart2016@reddit
It reminds me of the Iranian team during the 2022 World Cup where Iranian fans actually cheered for the US because the Iranian Federation are puppets for the Mullahs.
Vercingetorix1111@reddit
Just to be precise: a coaching dilettante, he was quite a decent player back in the days.
Bilbolbu@reddit
Decent yes, but that's about it. Nothing more than decent.
Vercingetorix1111@reddit
Yeah, but it's quite common for decent or even players who were bellow the average to become good coaches, I mean, most of the top tier players do not become good coaches (Zidane is an exemption, though, but he was a coach of Real Madrid so let's be honest, that is not something that amazing). However, this isn't the case, obviously.
Aristo95@reddit
Our entire football is corrupt and our unofficial coach is president himself. No joke.
When England beat us 5:0 a few weeks ago in Belgrade, crowd chanted agains the president and his criminals started to beat people, even those with small kids. Then it was decided that the match vs Albania will be played in Leskovac instead, in a much smaller arena and guess what, tickets were given almost exclusively to people loyal to the president.
Nobody gives a fuck about such team or association. I don't feel represented by them, not because they lost vs Albania, but because they are deep in his anus.
mihjok@reddit
Tickets were nor given, tickets did not exist

podivljali_vepar@reddit
Actually there is Serbs cheering for Albania because of politics lol
droze22@reddit
I've heard enough, give Vucic the Nobel Peace prize for this accomplishment! But seriously, that is crazy. Good luck getting rid of him
22Duffield@reddit
It is football anyway, Serbia had 3 good chances and squandered them, Albania had two good chances and scored one! Any idiot who run parallels and straight lines from one or two data points, deserves to end their life in the purgatory of “hate of all against all” in Balkan marinade
averege_guy_kinda@reddit
Tf are we supposed to do? Start WWIII over football
Economy_Sugar_6887@reddit
Serbia at the moment has serious problems that go beyond sport. That's been cooking for some 15 years more or less. Its just now showing everywhere and also it reached sports as well, football including.
Its just in last 2 years average Joes and Janes started to care, so sport is least of their concerns. That should've happened like 10 years ago.
ScottishRajko@reddit
People are so tired of watching Piksi destroy the national team, everyone has lost interest long ago.
Selbststaendiger@reddit
Worst coach of an NT team.
HuygensCrater@reddit (OP)
So the national team just sucks? People just admitted that there no hope and focus more on basketball?
NoteOrnery2424@reddit
Individually absolutely not, but as a team they’re abysmal. This has been the consensus for years.
Zealousideal_Edge262@reddit
Has been the consensus for years for Albania too but still it made me happy seeing my national team win against the forever enemies lol
NoteOrnery2424@reddit
You beating your “forever enemies” might ironically enact real change in our wasteland country. I couldn’t give two fucks about all that double headed eagle shit so long as we see the demise of the cretins in our regime, and I think a lot of Serbs can see eye to eye with me on that lol.
Zealousideal_Edge262@reddit
I hope it does enact real change cause it might as well enact change for my people too so that next time the throwing of the double eagle wouldn’t hit as good at the last time and slowly we all shape together to an europeans
cleaner007@reddit
People are sick of drunk alcoholic manager, corrupted federation and Nazi president who after basketball, now also ruined football for us.
Zealousideal_Edge262@reddit
Believe me our managers are even worse, instead of paying the players and drafting them they ask the players (mostly the diaspora stars) to pay for themselves under the table to secure a spot lol
Selbststaendiger@reddit
Yes. Guardiola could coach them and they would suck.
Unable-Stay-6478@reddit
It’s not surprising at all, considering the current political state of Serbia. I expect our national teams to lose in every sport they play.
Senior-Profession711@reddit
Serbia has never had success in football. Also, currently, we don't have a single player who plays an important role in a strong club. No talent, no results.

Basketball more their sport. I mean they are tall. Also Serbian federation led by fkng imbeciles. Wouldnt give a shit either if i was a player there. Too many players also corrupt too.
