Paraguay and Its Problems - Oscar Rodriguez

Going to south Africa is going to be a great honor for team member “Antolin Alcaraz” because this would be his second time going to the world cup. Paraguay and him only have made it to the Second round of the World Cup on three occasions (in 1986, 1998 and 2002); but has never advanced beyond that stage. I really hope that this year they make it passed stage 2 despite their past mistakes. When it comes to enemies; Paraguay always seems to have problems with Argentina. Because, Paraguay won a the silver medal in the football tournament at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games because, were defeated 1-0 by Argentina in the final. That must have been so frustrating for Antolin Alcaraz because that is his biggest enemy; Antolin Alcaraz has worked so hard to be able to beat Argentina and get Paraguay’s deserved revenge. But, I don’t think that there ethical issue has nothing to do with them not liking Argentina, it’s just a friendly competitor. In South Africa most of the ethical issues or conflicts are with the black and the white natives I don’t think anyone on Paraguay would have any problems, because they are a South America team. Well, Paraguay doesn’t really have any major problems with South Africa, besides the idea of being opponents. Incompletion I really think that Antolin Alcaraz along with Paraguay has trained and continuing training so there is no doubt in my mind that they won’t win the world cup.

Great Honor to play against Italy!

It is going to be a great honor to play at the Green Point Stadium against Italy because they are the recent winners of the FIFA Worldcup and it be will an honor to play against such a skilled team so early on the league. If Paraguay wins against Italy it will show other teams that Paraguay means business! Green Point Stadium is one of the newer stadiums built and not many teams have played at the stadium so we will be honored to be one of the first teams playing in it on June 14 at 20:30. Our travel plans to reach South Africa are to go by plane because obviously we cant walk or drive or swim across the ocean. We will be staying in a Hotel in South Africa. Although South Africa’s hotels offer the Base camp package to avoid packing and unpacking your suitcases, allowing you to set up base in one city at a specific hotel for the duration of your stay, simply traveling out on day-return trips our country offers apartment rentals in Paraguay that can be rented on weekly, monthly or yearly basis. Even though the cost also varies depending on the temporary rent they are however quite affordable when compared to the hotels of Paraguay.
