France Ready for Tough Paraguay Test

France coach Didier Deschamps has emphasized that his team won't be underestimating Paraguay in their World Cup last-16 match. "They are not here by chance," Deschamps said of Paraguay, highlighting their South American DNA and strong players.

The match kicks off at 5pm local time (7am AEST, 10pm BST). Les Bleus have been considered one of the tournament's strongest teams so far, but Deschamps stressed that Paraguay earned their place in the last-16 through merit. grenadier.co.za
