    Albania v England game might be called off.

    England's World Cup qualifier against Albania in Tirana on Sunday is at risk of being called off because of an issue over security.

    The Albanian Football Association (AFA) said it has been informed by local police that the force cannot guarantee the safety of the teams.

    "We will continue to liaise with the relevant authorities," the English Football Association said.

    If it's that unsafe then don't even go there. Sounds pretty ominous if their police force are saying they can't guarantee the safety of a visiting National team when there aren't even any fans present. Very strange indeed.

    England being in the country doubles the crime rate

    Why are the fork lift drivers and accounts playing at Wembley in white and we are in blue?
