If I remember rightly I think we could draw Poland in round 2? I think they will beat us.

For the hard of understanding (one person), Tunisia can't eliminate us, unless they qualify (with us) from the group.

I might have read the schedule wrong, but it's got to be Germany hasn't it?

We should finish second in the group despite relatively low expectations. We can then expect to be taking on the less good qualifier from Poland, Columbia, Senegal and Japan... should be doable surely? Then on to whoever wins out of the best of Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia or the winners of group F, which should be Germany... against who we have no prayer in a finals. If we win the group, then anyone out of Brazil, Mexico or Sweden will probably do for us.

So I'd say most likely Germany, then Belgium on the basis we need to beat them to get out of the group because of a poor start, and third most likely being Brazil on the basis we somehow win the group, fourth being Panama because of a really poor start.

*Colombia. I would be wary of looking at Colombia as an easy path to the QFs - James, Sanchez, Falcao, Cuadrado, Bacca are all class acts. Falcao will be busting a gut in this World Cup after missing 2014 through injury.

There's no easy second round fixtures unless you're playing England :wink:

Seriously, not saying it would be easy, just not something to be too scared of and achievable. I'd take Columbia over a lot of the alternative expected group winners / runners up out there.
