I think avoiding Colombia is the most important. And the other thing is that the way we
play, do we really want to come up against teams parking the bus and playing on the counter?
For example, despite their result yesterday I would not really want England to run into Mexico. Portugal is another one I'd like us to avoid.
I think if we're good enough, then we're good enough. We don't really know yet until we come up against one of the better sides in the knockout stage. But I also think we are more of a threat against an open team rather than bus parkers.
