I think we got quite good group. It should be a good game against Turkey. There should be a nice atmosphere against Poland too because they are hosts.



Group C is probably group of death if Serbia gets anywhere near where they were few years ago.

Draw also for the Additional Qualification Round:



Group A: Portugal, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium

Group B: France, Italy, Finland





Portugal couldn't be in a better group, they avoided France and Italy. BiH and Belgium are not soft, but at least there's a real chance to reach the qualification final (not exactly to be in Poland). Finland with very little chances of course.
