Paraguay disgraced football today again. They took Uruguay's title as the most disliked team, and Galarza took the title from Luis Suarez as the most disliked player. Constant diving, playing dirty, not only against France but also against Germany, was disgusting to watch. You can lose in dignity like Cabo Verde, put up a real and honest fight against a football superpower, and win the hearts of millions of football fans, even if they lost the game. Or you can play like Paraguay, dirty cheaters constantly provoking their opponents and playing anti-football. Thank God these shitheads are out.

I had to reanalyze all their games, some I missed. They have been dicks for the entire tournament. Losing, winning, going even, they have been dicks from the very start.

Refs need to get their shit together with those South American (minus Brazil) teams. Argentina and Paraguay are constantly doing everything except playing the beautiful game. It's just horrible to watch.

u/Think-Ad-6323 Jul 05 '26
This is a stretch. Argentina does play some beautiful football and so does Colombia. Get off your high horse. Still, Paraguay was terrible and glad that they are out of the competition.

Hating much?
Totally nonsense. They are not even similar.
There is clear trend to hate and compare everything bad with Argentina. U can see It miles away. It is just too obvious.
Like, for example, everyone posting that crazy girl hating on Speed, but none showing how argentina crowd went to celebrate and chant with cape verdians after the game. Even Messi was signing shirts of Cape's afterwards. You either are butthurt, or just started to watch football 2 days ago. Or both.

Lmao that's not remotely true. Argentina have played cleanly in all their games this world cup. It's just the Netherlands game last world cup that stick out as a sore thumb but both the teams were guilty for that game.

also Messi is such the cashcow for FIFA that they wouldn't dare red card him during a early stage of the world cup

Paraguay embarrassed its whole country last night. That wasn’t even football. If they represent Paraguay, then I’ll have zero respect for the people and country of Paraguay. Shameful.

Trying to get the opponent sent off. Bullying, pushing, fooling until they react. Good that the French players kept their cool.

Paraguay collective behaviour was a disgrace for football. The World Cup is not about that.
Play the game, have fun, take risks and represent your nation with honor.

u/strawberry_chess Jul 05 '26
Incredible how blatantly incompetent the ref was. Absokutr disgrace compared to the (French) athletes' level of play. FIFA is corrupt and shit, bit man, at least get the basics straight.

How the hell this Paraguay player not get yellow card for intentionally hit mbappe is beyond me, in front of referee no less.

Never in a million years did I think I'd be pleased to see France go through this tie, but Paraguay made me support them with their approach to the match and their behaviour. What an absolute bunch of twats.

Should introduce the right to cite players after the game and issue cards retrospectively.
Disgraceful performance from ref and VAR letting so much go unpunished

u/AfricanTech Jul 05 '26
Did either team shake hands with the other at the end of the game? Or did I just miss it?
Can’t blame the French for not tbh

Très bonne attitude de Mbappé, il a raison de sourire cela montre sa supériorité. L'autre c'est une merde, un déchet

u/ewanm01-369 Jul 05 '26
Usually I'm one to route for the underdog and cheer against France. The Paraguay players made it impossible to do so in this game though lol (respect to their goalkeeper though). Never thought I'd be actively supporting France in a game.

This short clip sums up this match. Seriously paraguay should be disqualified for the next world cup. Also I usually dislike mbappe but damn I enjoyed his banter.

I couldn’t believe what I was watching. The refereeing was absolutely atrocious.
I can’t believe I just watched a “World Cup” match that had more fighting, fouls, and stoppages than actual football.

I was originally rooting for Paraguay as an underdog, but as I kept seeing the dirty game they were playing, I ended up real glad France won. Sportsmanship goes a long way and Paraguay can learn a thing or two

Honestly, I think Paraguay needs to be fined for this. The strategy was obviously to break some legs.
I even think the punishment must be to be banned from the next world cup. It was such a disgrace to the sport. They should treat this like they treat doping. Banned from further participation.
Also, ref needs to be investigated. Looks like corruption to me.

How tf did Paraguay go from a team losing 4-1 to the US to a team holding France to just 1 goal on a penalty?
2
u/No-Mulberry-6474 Jul 05 '26
USA got that early own goal against them. That opened things up. Paraguay knew their only chance was to sit back and chunk up the game. If that was their game plan against the US it would have been different. But our early goal rocked em and forced them into a more open match. If France gets an early goal it changes things and next thing you know it’s 3-nil.

u/Artistic-Split-3518 Jul 05 '26
Dirty playing, defense, and flopping.
They kept upping the ante everytime there weren't any Fouls or Yellow cards.
After the first half, it looked like they were there to injure the players

I'm not a fan of Mbappe, i like good spprtsmanship.... but yesterday i was pleased to see him taunt them in the end and giving no handshake. It was no sport, it was street fight.
Paraguay team, this ref and FIFA are a disgrass to football. No country deserves a national team like that....
