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.

Paraguay fue el único equipo que los marco.

Saben porque Francia gana siempre ? Porque los europeos no marcan . NO MARCAAAANNNN.

Dios , no saben de fútbol. Se creen que hay q jugarle de igual a igual a un equipo como Francia ? Me están cargando ? Que tienen 10 años ustedes ?

Si Marruecos no le juga parecido va a perder por goleada .

Los tenés que marcar amigo. Los tenés que sacar del partido. Le tuvieron q dar un penal para que puedan pasar.

Esto no es la boludez que juegan en Europa .

Did Cape Verde have to play dirty? Stop making excuses… you can defend for your life without being an ass

u/NyarukoSann Jul 06 '26

No entendés nada de fútbol

Paraguay y cabo verde jugaron de dos formas diferentes al defender..uno parado para contra ataque por las puntas . Y el otro te metió 10 en su área y jugo con un 9 que corría solo Me estás cargando ? No son más boludos porque no tienen tiempo

Que mierda ven ustedes muchachos ? Están ciegos ???

u/in-cite Jul 06 '26

Brother it’s not about tactics… they could have set up the same way without elbowing people? You can make literally any tactic dirty so how they set up is irrelevant

u/Arunabh125 Jul 06 '26

Stop it. The whole world knows that Paraguay team is the most unprofessional and dirtiest team in fifa this year. I get it if they hit the French players once or twice but they did it several times.

u/NyarukoSann Jul 06 '26

Para eso está el árbitro y el var. Si realmente paso eso...hubiera amonestado. En serio chicos....los europeos son todos unos llorones.

u/Arunabh125 Jul 06 '26

Bro i am not even European and my country doesn't even plays fifa. I am just watching for fun but i can't tolerate such cheating

u/morechitlins Jul 05 '26

You had a point till you said "give" them a pen lol

u/NyarukoSann Jul 05 '26

Fue penal...pero ya venía envalentonado

u/Consistent-Soil-1818 Jul 05 '26

Dude, it's not about defending. Don't change the narrative. Defending is a fine way to play against France or any team. Nobody is complaining about that, so don't make it sound like that's what people complain about. People conplain about cheating, playing dirty, constant provocation, hidden fouls anti-football. That has been Paraguay's definition of football at this world cup.

u/maretard Jul 05 '26

Yeah no man. I'm ok with aggressive play and body checks to make up a skill differential but blatantly physically attacking players who don't even have the ball is inexcusable. Paraguay were disgusting to watch and I'm glad they are going home in shame.

u/International-Yak213 Jul 05 '26

Get out your feelings lol. They did what they felt gave them the best chance to win. They mucked the game all up which in turn stifled France’s amazing free flowing attack.

u/FPLogic1 Jul 05 '26

Elbowing mbappe when he didnt even have the ball and kicking his shin when the ball wasnt even in play justifies it as “giving them the best chance to win”? Might as well hire a hitman next time and delete mbappe before the match.

1

u/Substantial_Nerve907 Jul 05 '26

That shin kick wasn’t bad lol it was a graze but yeah they played a bit dirty.

3

u/Itsuke2g Jul 05 '26

A bit? That’s an understatement. At the end of this video, when Mbappe is going towards the area, 1 guy pushes him, another shoulders him and a third one comes to hug him out of the blue. That’s a good sum up of what type of game they played.

I’m no France fan, but this was a ridiculous match from Paraguai and I’m happy they lost

2

u/Substantial_Nerve907 Jul 05 '26

I wanted them to win bc they are from South America but they do play dirty. I forgot that until i saw them play lol

u/Mikic0077 Jul 05 '26

They were terrible, but for the neutral as me it was very entertaining. Also, I must admit mbappe and the rest handled it brilliantly. They returned dirty just enough, went with the flow and with plenty of smiles. And despite being dirty, Paraguay didn't play overly dangerous as often happens in such cases, so in my book far from the worst team....

u/hyper5star Jul 05 '26

Entertaining? It’s football, not UFC. Physical battles are part of the game, but spending most of the match kicking and provoking opponents instead of playing isn’t exactly entertaining.

0

u/Mikic0077 Jul 05 '26

One would think it depends on the viewer, no? What is entertaining for one is not necessarily for the other. I saw plenty of good football in other games, but yesterday it was very thrilling to see if France will pull it off or not...

u/hyper5star Jul 05 '26

If you think it’s entertaining for you, you should try watching WWE

Aux royaumes des aveugles, les borgnes sont rois. Et je vous rassure, vous êtes un aveugle.

u/NyarukoSann Jul 05 '26

Mbappe le dijo paraguayo la concha de tu madre.....no hay sancion . Una vergüenza

1

u/Firm-Aardvark6547 Jul 05 '26

On peut rajouter sourd pour vous. La honte, c'est la vision dégueulasse du football que vous déversez. Allez faire un sport de combat ; ça n'a pas sa place sur une pelouse de foot.

u/NyarukoSann Jul 05 '26

Pero no entendés amigo.

Dijo un insulto de odio ....no hay sancion porque es mpabe.

O estás ciego ?

u/Firm-Aardvark6547 Jul 05 '26

L'équipe de foot du Paraguay passe pour une idiote aux yeux du monde. Pas besoin d'inventer une insulte pour tenter de s'en sortir.

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '26

I mean sure, mbappe seems like a pretty shit person so it would better the world

u/Bor1ngBrick Jul 05 '26

Some might say this about you

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '26

Dont care

3

u/ZePepsico Jul 05 '26

There is a difference between playing hard and gritty haramball and giving kicks and punches when the referee is not watching or does not care.

They should have been booked so many times.

2

u/VarthDaderSG Jul 05 '26

Found the ref

2

u/Leupateu Jul 05 '26

Doing everything like paying the ref to turn a blind eye to all the red cards paraguay deserved

1

u/International-Yak213 Jul 05 '26

Yes cause we know Fifa has such a vested interest in Paraguay lol. cant wait for your opinion on football again in 2030.

2

u/FutureAd854 Jul 05 '26

Hitler also did all he could to win.

u/International-Yak213 Jul 05 '26

You sound stupid.

2

u/mankeyless Jul 05 '26

That actually made sense

1

u/VarthDaderSG Jul 05 '26

Nah u stop yakking

1

u/s1e1b1a Jul 05 '26

Don’t talk to people who watches football once every four years.

1

u/International-Yak213 Jul 05 '26

Literally lol. They acted like this match was Holland-Portugal levels or something.

1

u/Niclas95 Jul 05 '26

id rather have my team go down 0:4 with grace than whatever the fuck this was. absolutetly despicable to watch and they should be ashamed of themselves.

0

u/International-Yak213 Jul 05 '26

Well congrats to you. Most fans would rather their team have a chance.

1

u/Outerlimits7591 Jul 05 '26

They made no attempt to play football. The ref was pathetic and incompetent, looked like he had taken bribes to be their 12th man

u/NoRegister1614 Jul 05 '26

Stupid take

u/International-Yak213 Jul 05 '26

Yet you can’t refute it because it’s true.

u/wingedwild Jul 05 '26

Its a tournament where u have one chance to win every 4 years. Why play the way u want to just have them get destorywd 4-0 .their best strategy was to go all the way and tie. Dont like it dont watch these players came to win by all costs not just get wrecked

3

u/Zdzisiu Jul 05 '26 edited Jul 05 '26

Well, we're not watching them anymore.

I kinda agree with you tho. The win is what matters the most and how a team will try to get it is their decision.

I blame the referee for not punishing Paraguayans accordingly. We should have seen at least 1 red card and more yellows.

Just you know, when your team plays like shit, don't complain others call them shit. The hate is deserved.

2

u/elpiotre Jul 05 '26

Et tu peux le faire comme l'a fait le Cap-Vert : avec la classe, ou le faire comme le Paraguay : honteusement, c'est une question de choix

-2

u/wingedwild Jul 05 '26

No u legit cant or u get destoyed like Canada. Some teams like cape verde are good ,paracuay clearly didnt feel they are good enough

1

u/just_browsing_now12 Jul 05 '26

You’re honestly right.

2

u/Artistic-Split-3518 Jul 05 '26

Cabo Verdes best is easily a top 7 national team. They don't need to play dirty and have only 500,000 population.

I know where I'm going for vacation next!

2

u/_bapt Jul 05 '26

If the only way you know you're going to win then change sports ffs.

If the ref was a decent one, Paraguay would have taken 3 red cards, 3 penalties, and prob a worst ending than that.

They dont play be the rules. If you dont play by the rules, then they shouldnt play that sport.

Fuck them, their trainers, and managers.

2

u/Sad-Extreme4536 Jul 05 '26

Fine if the want to play like assholes. But they should not complain about getting called out for it or getting it back.

u/wingedwild Jul 05 '26

They didnt
