It's too painful to watch these draws. I just wait for the results in full now

I'm watching the text updates on the website instead - sounds like I chose wisely.

England, Serbia, Albania and Latvia.

Tommy Tuchel will be happy at least

I can't get too excited in anything FIFA are involved with.

We are playing all the A's.

Albania away would be a good one

Imagine if we get the easiest route to the final and win it.
Some England 'fans' won't know whether to celebrate or not.

Serbia and Albania in the same group is... interesting.

And Andorra.
Toughie.

If we don't top the group there should be the excitement of a play-off to look forward to.

Might as well just give England a bye into the finals. It'll be a poor effort if we manage to concede a goal, never mind lose any points.

Liechtenstein? I didn't even know that they took part, but it's good to see Belgium in our group again.

Somewhat surprised FIFA allowed that possibility to happen. Kosovo and Serbia is absolutely impossible but the last time Albania played in Belgrade the drone stopped play.

I don’t get this. What is it with this winner of Germany v Italy, Portugal v Denmark, France v Croatia, Spain v Holland. Does this mean major teams go in the first round?

England seem to have the most cushiest draw of all time, by the way.

Nobody has called Serbia “Dark Horses” yet

Serbia v Albania will be volatile!

Obviously there'll be no away fans and I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's no fans allowed at all. From a Serbian point of view it's terrible, hate it when politics are involved, sport should bring people together not drive a wedge between them. Looking forward to England coming to Belgrade though.
