The structure of the draw actually biases things a bit against our group - the 2nd and potentially best 3rd place finishers in Group E will always end up playing the winners of another group in the second round, and our group winner will play a 2nd place team (whereas with the other groups you can come 2nd and end up playing another 2nd-place finisher, or win the group and play a 3rd place team).. maybe that's thinking too far ahead.
