That's my expectation too. Seems a shame.

Is Paraguay the game that Bos shows up as an attacking force? This seems like the one game so far we could actually pin the other side back a bit. Without Almiron they don't have a first-rate playmaker so if we can keep Enciso quiet we should be able to have a good go at a pretty slow defence...

I think it's more of a case of the coaching staff themselves suggesting they couldn't field certain line-ups because of fitness. Doesn't ring true to me but the alternative would be they would have to admit that they did in fact get it wrong. They didn't start the two players who scored against...

It's all a bit premature, isn't it? Poppa gets a draw against Paraguay and he's one step away from equalling our best ever finish. I don't love his mindset to be honest but on the plus side he's been brave and achieved a level of player exposure and renewal we haven't seen in a very long time...
