France, the 1998 World Cup champions, faces Paraguay this Saturday in Philadelphia in the round of 16. Les Bleus enter as favorites, but must overcome the Albirroja team led by Gustavo Alfaro, which recently shocked the world by defeating Germany in a penalty shootout.

The teams previously met in the 1998 World Cup, a match that went to extra time and was decided by Laurent Blanc's golden goal. France went on to win that tournament, and now hopes to advance further in this edition. Paraguay, seeking to upset the French once again, is determined to make the contest difficult for their opponents. mchezo.life
