❏ Info about Paraguay.

Paraguay, officially the Republic of Paraguay (Spanish: República del Paraguay, pronounced [reˈpuβlika ðel paɾaˈɣwai]; Guaraní: Tetã Paraguái), is one of two landlocked countries which lie entirely within the Western Hemisphere (the other being Bolivia), both in South America.

Paraguay lies on both banks of the Paraguay River, which runs through the center of the country, from north to south. The country is bordered by Argentina to the south and southwest, Brazil to the east and northeast, and Bolivia to the northwest. Because of its central location in South America, the country is sometimes referred to as Corazón de América — Heart of America. As of 2009 the population was estimated at 6.3 million. The capital and largest city is Asunción.

There are at least four versions for the origin of the name Paraguay. The literal translation from Guaraní is Para = of many varieties; Gua = from, belonging to or place; Y = water, river or lake.

❏ Geography



Paraguay is divided by the Río Paraguay into the eastern region, officially called Eastern Paraguay (Paraguay Oriental) and known as the Paraná region; and the western region, officially called Western Paraguay (Paraguay Occidental) and also known as the Chaco.

The terrain consists of grassy plains and wooded hills in the east. To the west, there are mostly low, marshy plains.

❏ Climate

The local climate ranges from subtropical to temperate, with substantial rainfall in the eastern portions, though becoming semi-arid in the far west.

❏ Tactic

I expect them to play a 4-1-2-1-2, or 4 Defenders, 1 DEF-MID 2 central MID, one winger and two strikers. They are changing there wing very regular, so you don't know where he will be.

My idea is to play with 5-2-1-2, or 5 defenders, 2 central/DEFMID (between DEFMID and centralmid) one winger and 2 strikers.

Why 5 DEFS? wingers are very dangerous and because you dont know where the wing will be it's better to play with 5 defs to defend both sides. 2 MIDs for your first line of defence and to play the ball to our winger. Our winger will be very important because he will probably get a lot of space, because they don't play with backs and there defence is quite compact.

The most outside defenders play a little forward, I will try to place my ATT in these two gaps and use this mistake :)

Hmmm! Her face characteristics are a bit... ermmmm.... manly?

I guess Paraguay was just to strong, altough I would have played differently :)

Renaming the "defend" default tactic and playing it doesn't really work on NT level...
(edited)

Any of the default tactics does not work very good :)

I know :)
I just wanted to say it a bit ...politely.

Your a gentleman ;)

and the defend tactic is one of the worse tactics there is . full of holes:)
