France vs Paraguay: World Cup Round of 16

France, the 1998 World Cup champions, will look to continue their tournament journey against a Paraguay side that stunned Germany in the previous round. The teams previously met in France 1998, with Laurent Blanc's golden goal securing victory for Les Bleus, who went on to win the tournament.

Paraguay, led by Gustavo Alfaro, has proven to be a formidable opponent after their penalty shootout victory over Germany. The Albirroja will be looking to upset the French once again, while France aims to repeat their championship success from nearly three decades ago. rocore.sbs
