Seed 4 is meant to be shit teams with no chance not competitors.

I don't think it'll help us get the 3rd seed because the current rankings take into account Euro 2016 and that's where the majority of our points came from I'm sure.

EDIT: I think they've changed this to be based on nations league and where you finish in quali so yeah you're right we might be pot 3, will be a big help for the next coach.

Euro 2024 seedings will be based on the next year’s Nations League rankings so we don’t know yet if we’ll remain in league B or will get relegated.

The reality of this would be, if Djim and Kumbulla were playing it would be a very different game. Harry Kane's hat trick all came from Dermaku's terrible marking. None of those goals would happen with Kumbulla.

But the 1st goal that opened the floodgates, was 100% on Reja. There is 0 reason why Uzuni should mark Maguire. This is a repeat offence. Again and again, we embarrass ourselves with free kicks.

Looking at the previous qualifiers all League B teams regardless of their final position were at least in the 3rd pot, so i think we have secured that.

Nope, the 31st team was seed 4th, which is where we are rn ffs. But we have to survive first anyway.

Indeed, but it’s the rank of Nations League 2023 that matters. We have avoid getting relegated.

Yeah you're right i saw it now. So all we need to do is avoid being among the 2 worst ranked teams of the league

I get that, i was just comparing the previous edition to see which teams get which pot.

The Albania fans in the stadium were still singing and dancing 5-0 down . Who the hell is this prick to disrespect us like this, after getting pumped 5-0 the team deserves all the criticism it gets. Just shows the mentality of the higher ups.
