Serbia vs Albania (on and off the pitch)

Albania is a legit NT under De Biasi now.

*
Suspended
War atmosphere .

Albania fans flew drone over stadium with Albanian flag. Mitrovic  grabbed it and pulled it down , Albanian players react .. and fight.

Just watch Serbia-Albania right now. It's a *bleep* crazy show by the fans. The match is stopped currently because of the brawl.

Hope we don't get kicked out because of this.

Besides you have the precedent of Italia-Serbia and Uefa is intransigent with the recidivists..

During the Albanian anthem boos, flares, bottles, random items were thrown at them, they couldn't even sing it properly. I know we're getting fined for this. Ref's verdict for now is: if another incident happens, he's stopping the match for good.

Serbian fans always boo also our anthem
The match will continue. I hope it won't be suspended again , because it will mean this is final verdict. Last chance for the fans . If it will happen another time, it will be the last. And it would be a shame also because it was really an interesting match, so balanced

I hope Both Serbia and Albania are banned. Don't need this in Europe.

As if it's a surprise there would be some trouble in a game between Serbia and Albania
Would be dissapointed if there wasn't tbh.

it's really difficult to talk of football after another Balkan war in a football pitch..

anyway great goal by Kroos. Eire was defending very well

All albanias games except the Portugal one should be a loss imo

Definitely suspended Serbia-Albania.

UEFA won't forigve also this time.

The match is abandoned

Which smart ass allowed Serbia and Albania to be drawn together. I know some other countries that had political issues weren't allowed to be drawn together.

For who didn't watch the match , all was born from this

the problem is that ...TBF ... if we follow this reasoning I fear Serbia could play only against Russia.
Serbia fans feel enmity against all basically ... I remember the last match suspended before of this was against Italy, not a Balkan country

Serbia's and Albania's group is already the one group with only five countries, if Serbia get thrown out, it's going to be only four x)

Both should be out. Let that group be "the last man standing" type of thing

This is the greatest chance ever for Albania to get qualified in a tournament . It is never happened in their history.
Legit NT with De Biasi and new expanded system of qualification to help them
It would be a hard blow for Albanian football

That's not true, the incident that happened vs Italy was a thing that was done by 1 man who was paid to do it and get the match stopped, most of the Serbian fans have nothing to do with that, you can see that on the video too that it was done by 1 particular man, that guy was paid big money to do it and he knew he was going to jail straight afterwards.

We didn't have any other problems playing anyone. Just wait for the Albania vs Serbia match, the whole thing is going to happen again with their fans.

Serbia-Albania match can't be played, simple as that. Even the players got into a fight with eachother.

explain to me what going on there. what's that flag? Albanian with some Kosovo garnish? Why is it being flown across the field on what seems to be some mini helicopter lol in the 44th minute?
And why is a little brawl grounds for banning the teams?

Cana is such a boss. Get's  attacked by a hooligan, fights back in style.

UEFA must make strong decisions against Serbia,there were fans attacking the albanian players and even that stupid serbian GK.
Not sure what they will do but Serbians must be punished for what happened in their stadium,there were no albanian fans so it's up to Serbians to take the consequences.If no decision will be made,except even worse things to happen here in Albania,our fans will make the same troubles or even worse on Albania.

Shame on that idiot english referee for wanting to continue a war not football match,*bleep* idiot!

It's all Joschka Fischer's and Rudolf Scharping's fault imo.

Yes tbf you played against Croatia twice ( and it should be the main rival for Serbia ) and with Bosnia twice with no incidents. So yes , it was a comment a bit superficial by me.
Probably noone waited something against Albania because the matches against Croatia were hot but with no incidents ... for example I wonder if that gesture by Mitrovic degenerated the situation . The players must be example for their fans. If they even fight each other ...

I don't think it is a correct thing to avoid 2 NT to meet each other because of the fans though.
If their fans do not know how to behave civilly, as human beings, it is a problem of the federation.
Manipulating the draw would mean just a thing : to agree with these thugs.
Because they are strong so as to prevent a match . They are stronger than UEFA.
And many fans could make this , because they would feel power to influence the match , who can playing and who can't playing , all decided by them.
I am sorry for Serbia though , because I have sympathy for the country of Dejan Stankovic , he was my favourite player
It had to be a happy day for Serbian football because their young players got knocked the great Spain but the fans ruined all.

Albania fans flew drone over stadium with an " Albanian flag" . Mitrovic grabbed it and pulled it down , Albanian players react .. and fight.

About  the flag ... Precisely it was not a Kosovo flag , or an Albania flag , but  it was the " Greater Albania flag  "

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Albania

it has to do with Albanian nationalism .

I don't take sides in this because both sides display the same ugly characteristics. But the fake self righteousness is cringeworthy. Albanians provoked this, then their players started the fight, and now their fangirls have got their knickers in a bunch. Because they are such impeccably behaved gentlemen

The match could have gone on safely according to uefa but the Albanian fa demanded the stadium to be emptied.
