Paraguay World Cup 2026 Team Guide, Schedule, Squad & Match Updates
Paraguay typically arrive with a pragmatic approach built on structure, duels, and patience. Their best spells often come when they can compress space between the lines, frustrate opponents into low-percentage crosses, and then break quickly through dynamic attackers. Players such as Miguel Almirón, Julio Enciso, and Antonio Sanabria give them enough quality to threaten on the counter, while the defensive spine led by Gustavo Gómez brings experience and aerial strength. Their weakness is usually the same one that affects many disciplined underdogs: if they fall behind, they can struggle to open the game up without losing the compact shape that makes them hard to play against. Against the USA, Paraguay will likely prioritize defensive control and set-piece danger, hoping to keep the score level deep into the second half. If they can survive the early pressure, they have the tools to make this match uncomfortable, but they may need clinical finishing to leave with anything more than a narrow defeat.
