Paraguay captain Carlos Gamarra has warned England that they are one of the outsiders in their World Cup group.
The South Americans face England in their World Cup opener in Frankfurt and Gamarra believes they will prove to Sven Goran Eriksson's side that they are second behind Sweden in Group B.
"You're only the third best team in our group!" Gamarra told the Daily Star.
"Sweden are a stronger team than England, one proof of this is the convincing way they won their qualifying group.
"We went out of the World Cups in 1998 and 2002 as we did not play our normal aggressive game, but it is going to be very different this time around."
The 35-year-old is hoping Paraguay play to their best when the two countries meet on June 10 to put qualification for the second round in their own hands.
"How we do against England depends a great deal on us," he added.
"If we play a good game I don't see why we can't win and reach the second round."
