Signature moment

The 2010 World Cup quarter-final against Spain — where Paraguay hit the post, had a penalty saved, and still somehow had the whole world believing they could knock off the eventual champions. They lost, but for about 70 minutes they looked like they might actually pull off the impossible. That's Paraguay in a nutshell: not winning the moment, but absolutely owning it anyway.

The ones to watch
  • Julio EncisoATT
    The sparkplug who can turn a dead match alive with one moment of pure chaos energy.
  • Miguel AlmirónMID
    The heartbeat of the team whose never-stop motor has outlasted critics for over a decade.
  • Gustavo GómezDEF
    The captain and last line of sanity when everything around him is falling apart — which is often.
  • Antonio SanabriaATT
    A striker who scores goals that feel completely undeserved, which somehow makes them better.
  • Antony SilvaGK
    A goalkeeper whose reflexes have single-handedly kept Paraguay's World Cup dreams on life support multiple times.

One email the morning of their opener. Nothing else.
