TEAMS: Paraguay

Qualified for their sixth and second successive FIFA World Cup Finals after narrowly finishing above Uruguay to avoid a play-off with Australia.
The Paraguayans were very unlucky not to make the Quarter Finals in 1998, losing to Lilian Thuram's golden goal in the second round after taking France all the way, and were arguably the better side.
The current squad though, under experienced Italian coach Cesare Maldini, will fancy themselves to better their 98 performance and whilst Spain are favourites to win their group, Paraguay will feel they have enough talent and World Cup experience to beat South Africa and World Cup new boys Slovenia into second place and a place in the knock out stages, where they will hope for more luck this time round.
