Paraguay have perfected the art of frustrating other teams.

Though it makes for a boring match.

They're being ridiculous. These schoolboy tactics are not gonna phase these guys lol. They learned football playing on asphalt in the banlieues. Nobody is scared of you, Almiron. Sit down.

The Italy of the Western Hemisphere.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

Mbappé scores. Just need to hold on now.

That is probably it right there.

And that's it. Just like in 1998, France beats Paraguay 1-0.

Without World Cups, continental trophies or great players. :P

Paraguay is better at sneaky hits or provocations, however.

DGuller

Jesus that was a boring game, I literally couldn't stay awake.  At least Paraguay is out now, so every remaining game can only be better than this.

Zoupa

I hate to harp on referees, but they are incredibly inconsistent. He missed half a dozen orange cards.

Sheilbh

I quite enjoyed it :ph34r: But agree with Zoups - Paraguay got away with a lot.
Let's bomb Russia!

Duque de Bragança

Referee sucked hard, indeed.

Grey Fox

AFC ref, it was to be expected.
Getting ready to make IEDs against American Occupation Forces.

"But I didn't vote for him"; they cried.

HVC

I fell asleep and missed the game :lol:

Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Messi is a nice guy representing an otherwise shitbag country.
Ronaldo is the opposite.

Ronaldo is arrogant, but he also always tops the charitable athletes list. Messi donates to his own tax shelter :P

You did not miss anything.  ;)

Josquius

 Christ Paraguay were dirty and that ref was very chilled.
Mbappe a bit of a dick to their keeper at the end I noticed though. He did a great job and was unlucky.

From what I've seen  Ronaldo does lots of Mr Beast style photo op donations.

Messi donates a fair bit in a more low key not seeking attention fashion.
