Spain v Paraguay

[pasty]

Come on Paraguay. My last interest in the World Cup as I have them in the pub sweep.

 

[lizard]

Come on Paraquay.
I could do with Spain out, put cash on Holland to win cup and Klose for golden boot.

 

[defrocked priest]

Paraguay have to step up defensively and stick to the Spanish players like flies and poo. The more the match wears on and they can frustrate Spain they're confidence will grow. I too drew Paraguay in a pub sweepstakes.

Spain will wear Paraguay out with their passing game, then score a goal around the 65th minute (once Torres is subbed)

 

[TrueFan]

I am really looking forward to this game!

 

[perseus]

David Villa looks the best hope to prose open the Paraguay defence.

The teams line up as follows:

Paraguay: Villar, Veron, Alcaraz, Da Silva, Morel Rodriguez, Victor Caceres, Santana, Edgar Barreto, Riveros, Haedo Valdez, Cardozo. Subs: Diego Barreto, Caniza, Julio Caceres, Bonet, Santa Cruz, Benitez, Vera, Torres, Barrios, Ortigoza, Bobadilla, Gamarra.

Spain: Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Pique, Puyol, Capdevila, Busquets, Iniesta, Alonso, Xavi, Villa, Torres. Subs: Valdes, Albiol, Marchena, Fabregas, Mata, Arbeloa, Pedro, Llorente, Javi Martinez, Silva, Jesus Navas, Reina.

Our referee tonight is Carlos Batres from Guatemala.

Paraguay make lots of changes, but are mostly happy with their defence. Riveros must be their star midfielder.

If Paraguay score first, they may lose 1-2. My forecast.

I don't know how good they are. I got bored watching them. They beat Slovakia easily enough, but could not score against New Zealand or Japan.

Would you fancy Sunderland to defeat Real Madrid with a few loan players form Barcelona?

 

[vulture]

spain to lose 2-1

 

[defrocked priest]

So far so good, Paraguay are standing up to the test.

 

[Gerbil]

Oscar's playing
3-1 Paraguay Cardozo hatrick

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Will definitely take time before Spain get a goal, as I said above, reckon it'll be halfway through the second half. They may then get another near the end but it'll most definitely be a low scoring, not particularly spectacular, affair

 

[perseus]

Cardozo (Paraguay) is a free-kick specialist and often takes free-kicks for Benfica. He cost Benfica lots of guaraní.

The rest of team seem to noneties. Santa Cruz is a Man City player. He seems to be playing not as the team sheet says. The other forward Nelson Valdez plays in Germany.

Well I have Spain so you can poke it

 

[Race]

think mark bright will regret saying that about shearer. he's a shit commentator!

 

[perseus]

Last Paraguay match I got so bored I posted pictures of Paraguay after looking up about their Navy.

 

[Andrew]

I have Germany in my sweep, hope Para win so Germany get a shit team in the semis

 

[defrocked priest]

Last Paraguay match I got so bored I posted pictures of Paraguay after looking up about their Navy.

Was that the Japan match?

 

[perseus]

Paraguay have now upped the pressure. They are playing a bit like Ghana, weathering the initial storm and then harrying their Spanish opponents.

 

[defrocked priest]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, just offside

 

[perseus]

Was that the Japan match?

Yep, I think, although I may have forgotten.
