The Gaffer on
Paraguay
World Cup 2026 ยท Pre-tournament verdict
The Gaffer says
โRight, listen son, Paraguay are proper hard to break down โ they'll grind you into dust and nick one on the counter, that's their ceiling. My honest worry, mate? Up top they couldn't hit a cow's backside with a banjo, no goals in 'em. Gut says they nick a draw or two and bow out. Verdict: Stubborn but blunt, group stage and gone.โ
After they went out
โCalled it weeks ago: Paraguay never had the legs, and France barely broke sweat proving me right.โ
