How's everyone feel about the group? It was inevitably going to be tough but we could have gotten a worse draw..

I'm in love with this group.

Every team in our group is beatable. France will have additional pressure as hosts so it should be to our advantage. I wanted either France or Portugal from the beginning. Romania is ok, but they're pretty overrated. For Switzerland I'm not sure about but it can help us in attracting players like Tarashaj, Hadergjonaj, etc. to potentially play for us.

Same, fucking love this draw. We can definitely snatch a result against any of these teams. All we need is one win.

Also Kosova A - Kosova B will be a match for the ages. This is the game Granit Xhaka scores an bicycle kick own goal in the 94th minute for both teams to go through

Only thing I don't like about the Switzerland match is that our guys seem to play with an inferiority complex against them. In the past 2 games against them we beat ourselves by gifting them ridiculous goals. Maybe things have changed now but I would've liked to avoid them.

Match is being played in a totally different environment comprared to the other two. Players pool has improved a lot. They are different under the serbian coach. Could manage to get at least one point from them. France game will be tricky, guess having reff against our players will crack down, i didn't want France at all then the Romania game will be boring even for us. The group over all is quite good from what i was expecting.

De Biasi: “Nuk kam ekipe të preferuara. Jemi në vazon e katërt dhe përballë do të kemi ekipe të forta, por ky nuk është një problem as ndonjë surprizë. Jemi këtu për të bërë më të mirën dhe shpresojmë që kur të ndeshen më në kundërshtarët të mos jenë në formën e tyre më të mirë, por në krahun tjetër në të jemi në forme të shkëlqyer”.
“Kam takuar sot trajnerin Petkovic të Zvicrës dhe diskutuam. Nuk duam të jemi në një grup sepse do të ishte një ndeshje mes vëllezërish. Ne kemi një Xhaka dhe ata kanë një Xhaka, do ishte mirë ta shmangim këtë ndeshje mes vëllezërve”, është shprehur italiani.

Things have changed in our camp. When Switzerland plays against Albania at the EURO 2016, there are going to be 6 Albanians playing for Switzerland, and 7 Swiss citizens playing for Albania.

Switzerland loses more being drawed with Albania than vice versa due to the obvious facts behind the matchup.

Solid group.
