It was expected that France might strengthen a little more to the doubts generated from the first day. Of his three companions group, he played at face level. For its part Switzerland, with what is perhaps his best generation of talented players, he should step forward to prove to everyone, but especially herself, who know and can compete with any opponent. The 0-0 was lackadaisical, leaving to remember the shots on the posts Pogba and Payet, as well as the good performance of Sommer beside the pile of broken Tees Swiss.
No one, except perhaps the fans at the Lille Métropole, remember the duel between the hosts and their Central European neighbors. Quite the opposite will happen regarding the stake held in the Stade de Lyon. There Romania, which had shown a good tone in his two previous games, and Albania, which surprisingly had options until the end when he faced both Switzerland and France faced. Then weighed them inexperience, nerves betrayed them to define before the goalkeeper, a figure, the goalkeeper, which plunged them into sadness soon after beginning the day of its debut.
But they could still redeem himself. After decades of ostracism first to the Yugoslav power, then to the various rallies in Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, and even Bosnia, Albanians were clearly the worst Balkan selection. Macedonia and Montenegro until they have had their moments. Albania no, never to machada two years ago when Portugal won 0-1. Even though the Portuguese have chronic problems in front of goal, it was still a surprise. There began as exciting as tortuous path that gave them in qualifying for the first big tournament selections in its history.
Until last night, when after the defeat against Switzerland (1-0) and France (2-0), they dreamed big goodbye. A goal to celebrate, a point to remember, a joy that evoke. Something deserved, for it fought for every ball as if it were the last. The lack of quality palliated with the order and illusion, scratching ankles, running down every ball with despair. This led to climax shortly before half - time. A ball hung from the right sector Memushaj reached the head of Armando Sadiku , who introduced the ball into the goal. The error will be as anecdotal Tatarusanu for them (not that Romanians), although it was essential for the arrival of the both.
Emotions boiled over in the stands since. Romania, who put in serious trouble both Swiss and the French, not found a way to penetrate the Albanian orderly behind. The men of De Biasi were to leave life not fit goal . So he was finally thereby achieving a victory that is already historical to be the biggest milestone ever achieved for its football. The supporters of Albania is jubilant after last night lived. His grand prize has been able to live together with his unthinkable until very recently. Not only they were classified: they have competed every encounter. The biggest thing is that the win could have a hidden prize. But if they have passed the second round or not will depend on what happens in the other groups. We have to wait until Wednesday. After decades longing to be here, what difference does another couple of days?
