Drawn against the Lionesses, Belgium and Netherlands in the competition, there's no doubting the next six games will be a really tough test for the Spanish head coach's side but he insisted he feels his side are now reaching the point they can topple some of the world's highest ranked nations.
"To beat big nations, firstly you must compete against them as a habit" said the 50-year-old Scotland boss.
"The next step is to have all your players at the international level in all the standards - tactically, technically, physically - so you have the guarantee that every time you go to compete against them, you can win the game. I think we are arriving at this point and the next six games will prove it or not.
