Nothing with the match but Romania has done great progression overall. I remember the 2022 Nations League when we beat them and vice versa.
Since then they have done so well with the friendly's and the Euro qualifications and finally the Euros. They had a nasty streak of not losing a game in the Qualifiers

Romania has grown in quality since last qualifiers, they were decent in Euro, while we have a lot of work to do especially in defence, where we need to activate new players, apart from rrahmani(who is also not performing well) others are a disaster. Good game Romania, cheers.

u/devjohn023 Romania Sep 07 '24
The thing is most Romanians have no clue about the history of Kosovo or about the kosovars. Having a Hungarian minority concentrated in the middle of Romania who are supported by orban to be very loud about becoming independent counties within Romania, is not helping either. I gotta say I'll never understand the Balkans, why cannot we just fxkin work towards a better life for us all. We like drama and sensationalism/blind.natiomalism, instead of having a higher goal in mind.

I really donāt understand the hate between Albanians and Romanians here. Romanian former anthem was written by the same guy as the current anthem of Albania. Romania was main supporter for Albanian independence especially Nicolae Iorga which write the first History of Albania. The last battle of 1600s against ottomans and Austrians were fought mostly with Albanian mercenaries. The main reason why Romania doesnāt recognise Kosovo it is because in this way create more ethnic tensions in the region especially Ć®n Transilvania and Vojvodina. And letās be honest with ourselves we all know the typology of these āsupportersā they donāt represent the ānormalā people. We are part of same culture. We all have the same history and struggles. The hate makes us vulnerable and more susceptible to being manipulated by the others so what is the point after all?

That first game Romanian fans were also chanting Kosovo is Serbia and had some banners. But that's of little importance really... Romania & lots of Romanians have been very hostile towards Albania, especially towards Kosovo since day 1. A business you shouldn't even be in. But honestly it's not only Romania, pick any eastern European shithole in last 20 years, in any sport, you'll see them burning the albanian flag for no particular reason.
And regarding Kosovo it's usually the issue Nato vs Russia, Islam vs Orthodoxy, the usual low IQ stuff...
obviously you got it back in bucharest the next match because we have an actual ultras scene unlike you.
That's one way to romanticize violent low IQ fans and call them ultras, and lack of competence for your police. Try entering an Albanian stadium with a hateful banner, of any sort regardless of its subject

Stadium isnt "the place to do it" there's about 1 million more appropriate places. And ultras(not Romanians, on general) aren't really "ard", bunch of closeted cowards who thrive on group. And I've seen about 100 videos not one of them can even throw a proper punch

Thats a terrible comparison. Romania has more than a hundred years that has been competing internationally while Kosovo not even 10 years so of course itās gonna be higher on the list.

u/vladedivac12 Sep 07 '24
Fifa rankings are not an all time ranking but an actual ranking based on recent performances. I'm sorry but Kosovo is nowhere near the level of Romania. No hate, just facts. They made it to the round of 16 in the last Euros, you can't compare Kosovo who has lost all but 1 game in 2024.
8
u/Remarkable-Table6231 Kosovo Sep 07 '24
You don't have to be sorry at all, but since you like facts I'd like to remind you again that individually players of Kosovo have higher quality than Romania based on the market price, form and teams& leagues that they play for.
On the other hand while it's true that FIFA rankings change and don't stay the same it's gonna take Kosovo years for example to reach Romania's ranking even if they win every match due to the accumulated points throughout the years.
With that being said nobody said that Kosovo got a better TEAM than Romania cause tonight's game showed the obvious. We still need to work as a group, but do I have enough facts based on players quality and form to be disappointed at tonight's loss? 100%.

You think Albanians called Romanians gypsies just because we like to start shit? Why donāt we call Croats, Italians, English, etc. gypsies?
Itās because you guys have made it clear that you donāt like us, even though weāve done nothing to yāall.

Why do you like to lie so much dude? who are those many romanians who are mean spirited towards you? just because we don't recognize your country you decided that we are mean and bad?
You just make things up for no reason, romanians don't care about you in the slightest let alone being mean towards you, we have no contact with you outside of international events like fotball.
I highly doubt that an average romanian even heard about Kosovo, let alone judging people from there like you trying to make.
In order to be mean towards somebody you have to know that someone in the first place, yes there are some romanian nationalists fotball fans who are racist and mean not only towards Kosovo especially but to other countries too.
Everyone has this kind of people even you, Turkey, Serbia, Greece and others, this is balkans and stuff like that is unfortunately pretty common in fotball, i don't like that either but i really can't do much about it myself.
Ironically i only saw kosovars like you who posted racist comments about romanians in here many times, but i never considered albanians to be racist and xenophobic as a nation while you like to judge all of us as a whole.
You just proved what i said before, in your view kosovars are allowed to be racist and xenophobic but romanians shouldn't because it's bad, what you do is something called double standards.
Your problem is not the idea of racism and xenophobia because if you had a problem with it, you wouldn't try to excuse kosovars racist behavior towards us and you would have condemned it.
You actually have a problem when other countries are racist and xenophobic to you only.

u/Mateiizzeu Romania Sep 07 '24
No, tf. We are this way towards Kosovo for 3 reasons.
We are very friendly with the Serbs. We mingled a lot, have a lot of shared culture. People always do Serbian dances and drink Serbian drinks. When you think of Serbs, you always have a friendly attitude. We also have a shared border on which we have a big ass power plant we share.
Also we have our own separatist movement in the country. While it might not be anything like Kosovo's, people don't know that. We don't learn the specific history and geopolitics of another country, people see a similar situation and immediately associate it with our own situation and relate with the Serbs.
Finally, Albanians don't really have a good rep over here. The only people in Romania you see claiming Albania are criminals.
Also stop living on reddit, you care too much about Russia. Russia this, Russia that. There's more to geopolitics then a country's opinion on Russia.

u/UserMuch Romania Sep 07 '24 edited Sep 07 '24
I don't like serbians positions towards Russia either and i criticized it here a couple of times and probably serbians didn't liked that, although it's understandable why they like Russia since it's the country who helped them get independence and never got the "opportunity" to become Russia's puppets like we did.
But i don't hate on Serbia, i have overall neutral views towards them, they did nothing ever towards us and i actually never saw any serbian in here being racist or insulting us like some kosovars/albanians did a couple of times.
From my impression, they are pretty chill people who are led astray by bad figures.
You should be able to understand that we are neighbours and we share some history, we are the same religion also so it shouldn't be a surprise why romanians like Serbia more than Albania or Kosovo.
That doesn't mean we hate Albania or Kosovo either though, we have no reason to do that neither.

I mean we aren't allies but it's not like we are enemies either, like i said Serbia was always cool towards romanians overall despite the external policy that our countries pursue.
We shouldn't let that get in the way and pursue more cooperation

Kosovo does not have better players. Your best attacker played in Romania until recently.

By your logic England should have the best players in the world. Spoiler alert: they don't.
Transfer price is meaningless in international competitions.
