Yes and the pot 3 is as far as we can get by winning every upcoming match. Fifa Rankings include previous competition games and we've sucked big in the past.

Yea. It stinks that the UEFA/FIFA seeding don't take the other into much consideration.The 2010 WC qualification actually means a lot more than the current Euro 2016 as far as seeding goes.

In the FIFA 2014 qualification, If Albania managed to get one draw against Iceland, Swiss, or Slovenia and a win against Cyprus like they should have, we would've been much better off.

We were actually in Pot 5. At least we moved to Pot 4 lol.

Well Serbia is ranked better than us in FIFA coca cola because they had the result registered 3:0 for them and they won some friendlies with world cup teams like Greece 2:0 . Actually if CAS overturns the decision we might surpass them on FIFA ranking. On 16 april there will be the decision Serbia vs UEFA , on 17 april there will be Albania vs UEFA.
