Paraguay has had some good scalps.
They're normally a very good defensive team.
But we did everything that we needed to do and we got over the line where...
Where we are, I thought that we would get through the group.
I was hoping that we'd get through in first or second, so the next knockout game is a winnable one.
which, fingers crossed, we can beat Australia or at least get a draw, and then we're definitely going to go in.
I didn't like the result Australia had against Turkey, to be honest with you, because that levels the playing field in the group.
So, you know, because Paraguay, even though they got beaten by us quite badly, they're going to have an effect on the next game.
They're going to try to get points, and they could.
So I think when we get to the round of 16, when we get to potentially the quarterfinals, we're going to be playing against teams that will put pressure on our back line.
They're going to be able to exploit spaces.
They're not going to get caught out by a press so much, and they're going to be able to cause us some problems.
And if you look at the quality of our team and the quality of France, of Spain, of England, of Belgium, Brazil, Argentina, again, we can score against these teams as we saw, but we're also going to be vulnerable to conceding.
So I would think that in some of the other games, if you look at Mauricio's team selection and formations leading up, he played
He played three in the back in one of the games against Senegal and then played a back four in the lead-up.
That leads me to believe that he's getting the team prepared when we play against one of the big boys.
We're probably going to play five in the back with two wingbacks.
Saying that, we have the weapons to play that system because Dest is very fast.
Timmy Way is very fast on that side.
Freeman's very fast on that side, although he could play as one of the right center backs.
