Preview: Paraguay vs France
Paraguay and France meet in a fascinating FIFA World Cup Round of 16 clash, with a place in the quarter-finals at stake. Paraguay have already shown their resilience by eliminating Germany in a dramatic penalty shootout, proving they can compete with the tournament's strongest sides through disciplined defending, determination, and composure under pressure. France, meanwhile, arrive with confidence after a convincing victory over Sweden, showcasing their attacking quality, technical superiority, and depth across the pitch. While France will likely dominate possession and look to dictate the tempo, Paraguay will aim to stay compact, frustrate their opponents, and capitalize on counter-attacks or set-piece opportunities. With contrasting styles and everything on the line, this promises to be a tense and highly competitive knockout encounter where a single moment of brilliance could decide who advances to the last eight.
