Imagine if Albania does a Costa Rica 2014

[MoraleToad]

Maybe these experts should check how old Croatian squad is before saying anything? Or they think Modric is the only player in the field?

[consistxncy]

Croatia been consistently qualifying and getting out of group stages at all WCs and Euros since 2016 I can see Spain and Croatia then Italy and Albania

[bojankunic]

And here we go again... Before the tournament starts Croatia is old, Croatia don't have a striker etc. And when Croatia reach the semifinals again "Oh, such a small Country with only 4 mil. people doing so well bla bla bla... lol

[JuuzaGB]

Makes me laugh, Croatia and Italy never getting the respect they deserve. Especially italy 4 world cups 2 Euros and current title holders. Also last time italy played a tournament in Germany won the world cup.

I see what ESPN are doing with that title. They already know albania will qualify so they are wondering which one or two between the other three will make it.

Italy never won vs Croatia

3 losses and 5 draws vs Croatia

"... Croatia just seems to never go away. These players seem to get older and older and older but seem to keep gong and going and going... " This narrative of English football pundits has become totally ridiculous, they've been repeating it like a mantra for years because of 2 older players even though the team is younger than 6 years ago

I wanna see the Spain vs Italy game from Group B. That should be a great game

[mohdasmunimohdrashid]

Spain Croatia and Italy will qualify for round of 16 as third best finish.

[Enzoblueblood]

I make Scotland and Hungary favourites to progress from group A.

I like how Craig always talks like he knows everything. Never underestimate Albania. We have great harmony in the group and staff. Our boys represent a new generation of Albania, playing exceptionally well with passion, maturity, and unity. Most of the players compete in big leagues such as Serie A, Premier League, La Liga, etc.
During the qualifiers, we achieved strong victories against countries with strong traditions and experience, like Poland and the Czech Republic. We have one of the most beautiful fanbases.
As Sneider mentioned in one of the late interviews, we've been the surprise of these qualifiers, and with hard work and belief, we aim to surprise in the group as well. 😉🇦🇱💪

Spain 🇪🇸, Croatia 🇭🇷& Italy 🇮🇹top 3 last UEFA nation league!

[Andres-zlk]

Craig is spot on! England groups in major tournaments be too chill yet still they find it hard to come away with a silverware🤣

[ihghjgh]

And again this stupid " Croatia are old" comments.

[rn]

B and D will be fun for us but not for them 😂

[JaculaDudek]

Sylvinho and Albania are cooking right now. Don't count them out

[sevovevo]

This luck with England keeps Southgate as manager unfortunately. But England HAS to win something with this golden generation, which southgate is not the man to do it. So this luck is badluck!!

[quincynkemayang]

It’s funny how everyone thinks Denmark/Serbia are going to roll over for England when they are actually have at least on paper a decent side that can make it very difficult.
