General Discussion

First, the behavior of the Paraguayan squad looked planned and coordinated. Do they practice the whining and acting? They behaved like a bad suburban kids’ league coached by someone who was still reliving their middle school triumphs. Truly pathetic and unsportsmanlike.

Second, the referee was either half blind, bribed or mentally absent.

Third, the blatant racism should be disqualifying and sanctionable! This is a worldwide competition highlighting the great diversity of the world while celebrating our commonality through sport. Chilavert is an ignorant asshole who should be ostracized from the sport.

The rest of the tournament will benefit from Paraguay’s loss and departure.
