We could split with these teams. I doubt we would actually lose to Poland.

Poland isn't exactly a powerhouse, even with Lewandowski. In fact, they're quite shite. I watched Ukraine play them, and Poland couldn't string

Ukraine is a good bad team, if that makes sense. Yarmolenko and Konaplyanka are scary wingers, but they have a mediocre midfield, center forward and an above average defense. They play well at home, but are mediocre away. It would also depend on where we played them. In Lviv, Ukraine would have tremendous support. In Kyiv, it would be mediocre, because fans don't turn up unless it's a European power. They won't be playing games in Kharkiv and Donetsk for awhile, for some strange reason.

Montenegro has a few quality international players, but so does Honduras or Costa Rica, if we are to compare.

We could win the group.
