　　Paraguay striker Roque Santa Cruz believes Peter Crouch's height will prove a disadvantage when the sides meet on Saturday.

　　The England hit-man is set to start alongside Michael Owen when England go head-to-head with Paraguay in Frankfurt.

　　Crouch is one of the tallest players at this summer's World Cup at 6ft 6in, although Santa Cruz thinks his physique could be his downfall.

　　"The taller they are, the harder they fall," said Santa Cruz. "The only time I've seen a player like Crouch is in the NBA!

　　"We also have a big player like Jan Koller in Germany who also has very good technique."

　　Meanwhile, Bayern Munich ace Santa Cruz is quietly confident Paraguay can emerge victorious against The Three Lions.

　　"We're confident, happy in our preparation and we also want to enjoy it," he added. "I'm convinced we can win."
