I agree these teams are crotos... but this was supposed to be Italy in
an easy walkover. Remember that? Remember all the disgust at what an
easy group Italy were drawn into? And what a FIFA-Mafia thing it was?

No wait...
:-)

BTW is Group C still the weakest? *gg*

It's not so much about this specific match. Paraguay parked the bus against
Italy, and was happy to sit on a 0-0 against New Zealand, yet nobody will be
writing posts to the tone of "today is a good day to be a soccer fan" when
they'll get eliminated.

I agree. I can't understand why Japan is playing so defensively. They
were very good against Denmark. Paraguay has already been part of two
goalless draws and wouldn't mind another. So we might have our first
PKs. Please, God, no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is why I don't get posts like "Africans play like X" or "South
Americans all do X", why should all non-European teams be grouped into
one style of football?

For example in CONEMBOL Brazil are Mourinhoesque, and Paraguay are the
South American equivalent of the Swiss or Greeks. In CAF Ghana and
Nigeria do NOT play similar football. etc.

Brazil plays more like 90s Germany these days. There is no samba like
in those Pele days.
