Paraguay is the next challenge for France . |
In the early hours of July 1st, the French national team easily defeated Sweden 3-0 in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup. Kylian Mbappe continued his impressive form with a brace, bringing his total goals at the 2026 World Cup to six, equaling Lionel Messi's record in the race for the Golden Boot.
Coach Didier Deschamps' team will face Paraguay next, a team that just pulled off one of the biggest surprises in the knockout round. Against Germany , the South American representatives bravely held Germany to a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes of play, before winning 4-3 on penalties on June 30th.
Paraguay wasn't highly rated before the tournament, but their performance against Germany showed that this was no easy challenge for Mbappe and his teammates. Their disciplined play and tenacious fighting spirit were key strengths that helped the South American team continue their journey in the World Cup.
To date, the 2026 World Cup has determined six teams that will participate in the Round of 16: Canada, Morocco, Paraguay, France, Norway, and Brazil. According to the draw, Canada will face Morocco, while Norway will clash with Brazil.
If France overcomes Paraguay, they will face the winner of the Canada-Morocco match in the quarterfinals. With Germany and the Netherlands eliminated in this bracket, the path to the next round is wide open for Mbappe and his teammates. But first, they must overcome a formidable Paraguay team, who are riding high after their victory against Germany.
