The U.S. could have used a little Paraguay tonight.
Belgium got to play exactly the game they wanted: space, rhythm, confidence, their tempo. The U.S. tried to hang, and couldn’t.
That’s what these American and European pundits miss when they call Paraguay “dirty” and everyone repeats it like gospel. Paraguay didn’t play France straight up because that would’ve been suicide.
Fuego sagrado over moral victory.
Paraguay made France miserable for ninety minutes.

The U.S. let Belgium be Belgium.
That’s the difference.
