I think they may be the new "Tartan Army" in terms of the number of them that attend away games and the noise they make.

Watched the Norway v Albania game on Fri night - didn't expect to see about 4,000 Albanian fans packed in behind the goal.

Checked back on YouTube and it seems to be the case whereever the team plays.

And now I see they're above Scotland in the new FIFA rankings.

Albania for Brazil 2014? You read it here first!

There must be a lot of albanians that have left the country as the average monthly wage is about a fiver!

Been tuned in to the Estonia v Andorra game.
Okay, no surprise result but a pleasant change to see one of these "minnows" actually create a few chances.

Indeed, the Andorrans were passing it around like the Spanish at times.
Backheels, nutmegs,the lot.

Perhaps they have a new coach?
