Last week brought news on the France 16 soccer eliminations. tviliret participated in Denmark for the game between Albania and Denmark. It was a decisive game since both teams had second and third place. Most likely Portugal has passed to the first place. a group from tviliret from Chicago was part of this team in Copenhagen. many contradictory new went around warning the Albanians there were going to be there, that they will be unwanted and that the security will not let them in to the stadium. because of this and also the great passion to follow our team convinced us to use our personal budget and take this trip that was saluted by everyone that saw it
after we introduced ourselves as a new staff from US, a group from UEFA invited us to be part of their group. this group promoted fair play and anti racism actions, because it was a group of Albanian VIPs in Europe and Albania, organizers were pleased that we became part of this group without invitations. things until this point went well and no surprises. our group had bought the tickets online, but he warnings that circulated that we would stay behind the bars, made us keep the American passport all the time with us although we had on black and red entirely. one security worker asked us to go to the Albanian side, but the Albanian passport did the trick and we were able to join the Albanians that lived in Denmark.
we spoke with them and were very touched when they showed us the Albanian flag that they will show when the Albanian national anthem will be played. a flag 56m long and 28 m wide, was open at the very moment when the anthem was played. 42 thousand seats were filled in Copenhagen, no trouble happened, everyone sat at the appropriate seats, the security with our exception, was very proper. songs, happiness, flags, bears and friendship. this is what this game showed, which was overblown by the media as if something dramatic will happen in Copenhagen
. Albania showed in their game and the attitude, that they are European citizens. both sides exchanged bears and hands together as if they were brothers from the same blood. this would have happened in Beograd if the Serbs would have let the Albanians to follow their team Albanians showed that they are a tolerant and cultured people. the even results of the game and the presentation of the European values for the Danish people but more so for the Albanians that have been waiting for a long time to get passports to join the European union.
