Interesting, I've met a few Americans who could speak Albanian, but they were all Mormon missionaries :)
Hah, I know the type. Anyway, you following Albania's road to 2014? They've got a decent chance to qualify. I attended the home games vs Cyprus, Iceland, and Slovenia and they looked quite good.
Oh wow I am jealous. I've lived in NYC for the past 17 years and have only visited once in 2011. The last home game I attended was a loss to Germany in 1995. I do follow and try to watch every game online and I am going to Iceland on September 10th to watch the WC qualifier. This is our best chance ever to qualify so I am hoping we make it, although it'll be very tough.
