We don't have such good luck

Well then. Euro 2024 it is

Nightmare draw for Albania probably the worst possible. Kosovo draw is better compare to Albania but still nothing to be happy about.

Good news is we won't end with less than 12 points in group

Drawing Hungary out of pot 3 was the dagger.

They are on a 6 match unbeaten streak with wins over Serbia and Turkey.

No chance to qualify since England alone normally dominates in Qualification and against smaller teams. 0 points there
I can see us getting a point against Poland but not much more. 1 - 3 points max
Hungary I can see us even getting a victory but I know they're still better than us. Lets just say 3 points
Andorra and San Marino should be 6 points.

So 10 points?

1. Duka will be the happiest person to have England in our group for TV rights.
2. Hungary and Poland could understimate us and i hope we’ll play them first away (without home fans due to covid)
3. Like ZenMaster said we have 12 points guaranteed but against Andora we never know lol
4. I think group F would’ve been trickier to us , at least here we know England will beat us and we’ll enter for a draw twice while the others with some luck we could get 4 points from Pol and Hun.
5. We’ll get max 18 points.

The only silver lining is that we got a weak pot 5 team in our group so in the unforeseen circumstances we do end up in second place we might have a favorable advantage to grab a playoff spot. But again it's a blood bath and I won't even be surprised if don't even snatch a point from England, Poland and Hungary.

Albania has never surpassed 13 points in a World Cup qualifier.

Never know against Andorra. And yeah Hungary was a bad Pot 3 team to draw. Still the games are next year, who know how they will be faring by then,
