From penalties to a new chance: Paraguay is determined to make it to the World Cup!
19 days remain until the World Cup. Let’s welcome Paraguay!

The last time Paraguay played in a World Cup was in 2010. They suffered a dramatic defeat in the quarterfinals against future champions. With a score of 0:0, Cardoso failed to score a penalty. Then, the goalkeeper brought a penalty from Javi Alonso. Spain won only because of a goal scored by David Villa at the 82nd minute.

Since then, Paraguay hasn’t made it to the World Cup. This year, they will be grouped with America, Turkey, and Australia. Will they be able to make it to the playoffs?

Analytical view: The group is indeed balanced. But Guarani have historically been strong in away games. They also have the mental resilience that has saved them from many critical situations. The key factors will be physical readiness in later stages of the matches and calmness in the penalty area. If the coaching staff can create effective defensive strategies and focus on quick transitions into attacks, then their chances of making it to the next round are real. We’ll keep an eye on how things develop!
