Paraguay striker Roque Santa Cruz will have to bite the hand that feeds him if the South Americans are to advance to the World Cup quarter-finals.

The Bayern Munich star will line up for his country against his adopted homeland Germany in Saturday's last-16 clash.

"It will be something new for me," he said.

"Playing against Germany will be weird, because I live there and I feel really happy."

Santa Cruz will also be in the unfamiliar position of trying to get past Bayern team-mates Oliver Kahn, Thomas Linke, Carsten Janker and Jens Jeremies.

But the 20-year-old is confident he can add to the goal he scored against South Africa in the opening game.

"It's a decisive game, so I will so my best for our victory," said the player.
