This should never, ever, ever be tolerated. Racism has no place in our world. This is an appalling and disgusting act that brings shame to Paraguay and damages its image around the world.

Kylian Mbappé: a phenomenal player and person. Celeste Amarilla: a vile human being.

[Roberto Rojas @RobertoRojas97]

Paraguay being on the anti-football Wikipedia page should be taken as a badge of honor 😂😂😂

[Ralph Hannah @paraguayralph]

Wrote this about Paraguay but can apply to Balogun-gate.

US has always blurred the line between Sports/Entertainment but generally manage to get it right.

FIFA seem be too focused on the show and forgotten about the competitiveness which is the very foundation.

[Roberto Rojas @RobertoRojas97]

Great thread on why Paraguay should NOT have been criticized for what they did vs France ⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Ralph Hannah @paraguayralph]

Paraguay 🇵🇾 returned in the early hours to a hero’s welcome, with President Santiago Peña embracing the players one by one as they got off the bus

Gustavo Alfaro was warmly received by fans as he considers his future

[Ralph Hannah @paraguayralph]

How do you explain to a neutral why Paraguay's display was almost exactly what they and their fans hoped to see?

I've tried here...

More than any result, I’ll always be grateful I got to attend two World Cup matches with my parents, the two most important people in my life. Watching their native country in the country where they gave me life, It helped me truly understand what it means to be Paraguayan 🇵🇾❤️

[Ralph Hannah @paraguayralph]

France 13 fouls and 0 yellow cards against Paraguay in 1998

Paraguay 13 fouls and 0 yellow cards against France in 2026

Symmetry.

[Ralph Hannah @paraguayralph]

Imagine if France lost…could he have got a -1 rating 😂😂

[Roberto Rojas @RobertoRojas97]

Very disappointed at how people have viewed Paraguay’s performance as “dirty” because they gave the best team in the world a huge scare and didn’t allow them to score from open play.

This is the knockout stage of the biggest tournament in the world. You try to win at all costs.

[Roberto Rojas @RobertoRojas97]

I got the fortune to see my national team at a World Cup in my native country, I got to see them beat one of the most successful teams in the world and go eye to eye with the best team in the world. Both of them with my parents. This tournament will be go down in history for me.

[Ralph Hannah @paraguayralph]

Wasn’t to be for Paraguay 🇵🇾 who stopped France 🇫🇷 in open play for much of the game

But, in what had to be a flawless performance, a foul inside the box gave Mbappé the chance to sentence the Albirroja to elimination from the spot

[Ralph Hannah @paraguayralph]

“Admittedly, street smarts won’t be enough against the 2018 World Champions and 2022 Finalists. This group may have been groomed in a top level academy like Clairefontaine but were raised in the banlieues (or Croydon in the case of Michael Olise).”

And so it proved for 🇵🇾

[Ralph Hannah @paraguayralph]

Two Alfaro errors for me

1. Playing Enciso lone striker vs Saliba was pointless, probably the best defender in the world against small forwards running in channels

2. Canale x Alderete sub when he could have used that moment to go to back 4 & brought on striker/Mauricio

[Guarani Vision @GuaraniVision]

Pre-game thoughts from @paraguayralph on Gustavo Alfaro’s formation and starting XI to face France 🇫🇷

🇵🇾⚽️

[Ralph Hannah @paraguayralph]

Only Senegal managed to hold out until halftime without conceding to France 🇫🇷

Time of 1st goal

7' vs Norway
14' vs Iraq
45' vs Sweden
66' vs Senegal

Paraguay 🇵🇾 conceded 3⃣ times in the first half to USA 🇺🇸 but have only allowed two goals in the 345 minutes since

[Guarani Vision @GuaraniVision]

Off to Philadelphia! 🇵🇾🆚🇫🇷

[Ralph Hannah @paraguayralph]

40 years apart - Julio Enciso and Julio Cesar Romero and the only Paraguayans 🇵🇾 to score a HEADER from OPEN PLAY at the FIFA World Cup

7th June 1986 at the Estadio Azteca vs Mexico (1-1)🇲🇽

29th June 2026 at the Gillette Stadium vs Germany (1-1) 🇩🇪

[Piotrek Przyborowski @P_Przyborowski]

Był spłukany, omal nie stracił najbliższych, krytykował go jego idol i legenda Paragwaju.

🇵🇾 Dziś to Orlando Gill jest bohaterem całego kraju. Z MŚ wyrzucił już Niemców, dziś może odprawić Francję.

Więcej o nim wraz z @paraguayralph na @Meczykipl.
