So win the group and face Japan in the last 16, but that is followed by Brazil/Mexico in the Qtr finals, then France/Argentina/Uruguay/Portugal in the Semis. Come 2nd int he group and we face a tricky game with Colombia in the last 16 followed by Switzerland or Sweden in the Qtr finals, then Spain/Russia/Croatia/Denmark in the semis. One of those route is distinctly easier on paper but can any team ever play not to win and should they ever do that anyway? Of course we could play for the draw and just get a couple of bookings and we won't have to lose!!
