Apparently FIFA has finally cleared 5 of 6 players in question to play for Kosovo. All had previously played for Albania. One, Valon Berisha who has 19 caps for Norway, is still awaiting word.

Group D definitely a great draw for Wales in that they have a group where they can build on the success from the Euros. Austria seemed like they were a potential force but then crapped the bed. Ireland in the post-Keane era is a bit of a mystery and you simply never know what you are getting with Serbia.

Group I is less wide open, IMO, as I think Croatia and Turkey will separate themselves. Would be great to see Iceland continue their run but they'll have some tough away trips. Ukraine also there with potential but who the hell really knows.

Group G definitely a two-horse race and crazy to me given the D and I draws that one of Spain or Italy will be forced to the playoffs.

Berisha has finally been cleared for Kosovo. Xhaka wrote an open note saying he would continue to play for Switzerland, but I'm sure we'll see more one-off cases for switches to Kosovo come through. Unsure if any other from Albania will make the move.

I don't think anyone knows really. New faces so could take a bit to gel.
