Good results for Albania so far. Atm we're pot 2, we need a draw against England to secure it otherwise we have to rely on other teams to fail.
Pot 2 guarantees you that the match will be played at home.

I was looking forward to this game, Albania is due for a big result against a top 10 FIFA rankings NT, but I don't think Sylvinho will risk anything with players being at risk of suspension for the playoffs.

England hasn't conceded a goal in these qualifiers.. Scoring against them would be a nice accomplishment. Hard to see a positive result though. He's sending Mitaj and Shehu to the stands so they don't pick up cards.

Actually, the result against England does not make a difference, since even if we win we will not get enough points to pass the last team in Pot 2, which atm is Czech Republic.
The only way to get in Pot 2 is for Wales not win against North Macedonia and Ukraine not to win today against Iceland.
That way we would play the first match at home against one of: Iceland, North Macedonia, Bosnia or Kosovo.
If we end up in Pot 3, we would play the first match away against one of Hungary (assuming they don't lose to Ireland), Scotland (assuming they do not beat Denmark), Slovakia (assuming they do not beat Germany, or Czech Republic.

I would definitely prefer the first case, as the strongest team out of the 4 is probably Kosovo.

Broja as a winger last game, now Uzuni as a central striker. Sylvinho complicates things for no reason.

Our goal last game came with Bajrami as a CM/AM and Uzuni as a winger. He has a fetish for placing players out of position.

What a goal from Ireland. Secured the playoffs at the last minute.

Weiper should be realistic. He's currently struggling at Mainz and does he really want to compete with Waltemade?

Gruda too has to compete with Lennart Karl who's considered the next German supertalent.

These guys just have to be honest with themselves but fshf has to make an effort too.

My feeling is that its just on the players, I mean, they know what we offer, it's not like we can tell them anything they don't already know.

Gruda is someone who would be a guaranteed starter here from the jump so for him it should be attractive, especially considering he can now aid our World Cup push, but I would put it at 95 percent he doesn't join.

Weiper isn't necessarily guaranteed a starting role in the playoffs or World Cup (he probably would going forward after he settles) but he might have a different view on the situation than Gruda does, Gruda is obsessed with Germany.
