Police are currently investigating how the stolen vehicle entered Albania. Luxury vehicles stolen
from Western Europe often end up on Albania's streets after their plates are changed and are then

How long does he have left?

Queiroz is under extreme pressure and has the very real possibility of unemployment looming over
him. Given this threat, and inevitability that this will occur, I ask you.

...And breathe. That's your lot. It's the second week of June, and it's finally,
finally the end of the 2008/09 football season in England. This being England, of course,
the nagging doubt that one of these days they will get turned over by a team like Andorra, a team

somewhere like Wembley and keep a clean sheet.

This may at first glance look like a pretty low-brow (albeit funny) jibe at the preening
Portuguese. But dig a little deeper and it [.

game. "If we don't beat Albania, we will miss the World Cup," declared Greaseano himself.
