Australia vs Paraguay Group D Drama

Group D is heating up as the USMNT locks in their spot, leaving Paraguay and Australia in a tense three-point battle for knockout stage survival. Australia holds the edge on paper—winning two of five past clashes and ranked 25th vs. Paraguay’s 37th—but recent form tells a different story: Paraguay’s surprising wins over Greece and Mexico could shake things up. With a draw or win securing Australia’s place, Paraguay’s only sure path forward is victory—though they still have a slim shot at sneaking in as the best third-place team. Don’t sleep on the Soca Warriors. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
