France is in great danger Tonight against Paraguay

One has to aknowledge Paraguay own merits, its traditional garra charrua, and its simple strategy of defensive tenacity, while seizing counter opportunities.

But it would have seemed imorobable for them to hold off a offensive line that has proven so masterful at creating space as well as eating it, to display strong passing into the last 25 metres while having some of the best dribbling players in the world.

That is, until I saw the weather outlook. 100 ish farenheit with stormy conditions, for those learning about football, are absolute nightmarish for the game.

Heat is as much a great equilizer as can be rain or a bad pitch. Under such circumstances, I see this game almost as a 50/50 at this point.
