Coming into the contest, Didier Deschamps’ Les Bleus are considered the favorite to win the 2026 World Cup. Thus far, the dominant club has plowed through the competition winning all four of their matches, including a confident 3-0 victory over Sweden in the round of 32.
To add insult to injury, they’ve beaten Paraguay twice in the World Cup before. Their first victory was in 1958 when they won 7-3 in Sweden. 40 years after that, France came out on top on their home turf in ’98.
Paraguay shouldn’t be taken lightly, though.
Although they’ve only tallied one win — against Turkey, who took down the USMNT — they shocked the world and stunned Germany in the round of 32.
Shortly after, Paraguay President Santiago Pena declared a national holiday to celebrate the occasion.
While France clearly has the advantage here, La Albirroja is riding the wave and hungry for revenge.
Could this be the year that they get back at Les Bleus for the nagging losses? Can they pull off one of the most shocking upsets in World Cup history?
All we know is the best way to find out is live in the birthplace of America’s Democracy on its 250th birthday.
