Paraguay Prepares for World Cup Round of 16 Showdown with France

The Paraguay national team held a training session Wednesday at the University of Pennsylvania's facilities, gearing up for their upcoming World Cup Round of 16 clash against France. The match is scheduled for Saturday in Philadelphia.

The Paraguayans delivered one of the tournament's biggest upsets, eliminating four-time champions Germany after a penalty shootout.

The knockout fixture on July 4th at the Philadelphia stadium will determine which of the two teams advances to the World Cup quarterfinals. While most pundits consider France among the favorites for the title, the Guaraní's victory over the German squad has fueled their dreams of further progression.
