To put it into a Notts context, in the 1991 FA QF we played Spurs away, we could have played Cambridge at home, who would you have preferred?
I think we have a very good chance of beating Germany. If the players were my age they might have a bit of a mental block about playing them in a tournament knock out, but thankfully they’re much younger so hopefully won’t have. After that, I’d say we’re more than capable of beating Sweden/Ukraine in Rome, then probably the Dutch at Wembley. With the best will in the world, I can’t see us beating whoever comes out of the other half of the draw in a final.
