Hi guys,
I'm English, and recently got back from a 2 week trip to Albania (your country is amazing, loved every second! except the dumb ass curfew that shit sucks)
At the stadium in Tirana I bought a really nice Albanian football shirt, and having worn it out once in London it gets a surprising amount of attention from people. This made me think, with all the recent tragic history of your country and the powerful connotations of the eagle symbol etc., is it a bit disrespectful/weird of me to be wearing the kit without being Albanian myself? Or is it just like other football shirts, a fashion accessory and not much more?
Thanks!
Edit: An Albanian guy gave me a free bacon double cheeseburger just now at McDonald's. Fuckin dope. Thanks for your responses everyone, I get in hindsight the question is pretty dumb.
Should be enough to have Sauce named a consensus All-American, if not unanimous. I canβt remember the five organizations that need to name him for that to be a thing.
Hey, any football fans out there? My name is Tomek, Im from Poland, I collect football scarves and I'm looking for someone from Albania to exchange football scarf with. Im offering a scarf of a team that I support - PogoΕ Szczecin, we finished last season on 3rd place in highest polish division. In return Im asking for a scarf of your favorite Albanian team. Also I'm not intrested in purchasing a scarf, I want it to be fans/cultural exchange. Thanks in advance π§£π¦π±β½
I often see yanks say something like "I root for Totten Ham, Manchestershire Reds and Messi" (grammar fixed for legibility)

Just got into Gaelic. This post I saw made me wonder.

So would skills from other football sports like punting n American Gridiron and power shots in soccer transition to Gaelic smoothly?
I may be completely on the wrong here, but whenever I search for Mediterranean recipes, or hear people talking about them, it's not very hard for dishes from Spain, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Morocco, etc. to come up; however, I don't think I've ever found an Albanian dish when Mediterranean food is mentioned anywhere. Albania's geographic location allows it easy access to the Mediterranean, it seats between Greece and Italy, and it's not terribly far from Turkey or Libya. The same observation could be said about Bosnia, Croatia, and Montenegro to lesser degree(because strictly speaking, those countries are closes to the Adriatic Sea rather than the Mediterranian, but if you're going to exclude the because of that, you may as well exclude roughly half of southern Italy). Given all of the above, why isn't Albanian cuisine (or Croatian, Montenegrin, and Bosnian for that matter) usually associated with Mediterranean? I'm sorry if there's heavy subject matter associated with question and I just don't know about it.
