Gustavo Caballero, When you joined Portsmouth on Feb 2 2026, the final day of the transfer window, we were in a position of utter crisis. 20th in the Championship and in serious danger of relegation. You traded playing with boyhood Santos fan Neymar to playing with boyhood Portsmouth fan Marlon Pack. 19 days after you joined, you scored your one and only goal for us, an incredible run to steal the ball and score it from an outrageously tricky angle in a 3-1 win against Millwall, a side who defeated us thrice the previous season. You fit in perfectly with the boys as a character who gave 500% every second of every game, travelling with the boys away even when you were injured and going to war for the badge every week. We don't often get the privilege of seeing our players go to the world cup. Our last player to was Joe Morrell for Wales in 2022, who has now sadly retired at the age of 29, last playing after just turning 27 due to an injury he suffered in January 2024 during our promotion season. But here you are. Coming on for Paraguay in the knockouts against the giants of Germany and putting up a fight til the end against some of the world's biggest stars like Musiala… and Leon Goretzka. You looked like you belonged on a pitch battling players of Germany's calibre week in, week out; showing the same fight you did every time for Portsmouth. I am so proud for you, for Paraguay and for my city. Little old Portsmouth at the world cup, and young, relatively unknown Gustavo Caballero representing them. Let me tell you, they'll know your name now after today's performance. It seems likely your time with us has now come to an end, but I won't forget what you gave for us to remain in the championship for another year, where we finally look to be making moves to stay on the up. You were part of a team that saved us. Just as my family name lives on the walls of Fratton Park, your legacy will forever lay on our pitch. Thank you for everything, Gustavo Caballero.

Paraguay did what they’re capable of, defending impressively and sting when it’s the right moment like they did previously in the WC. This time however, the opponent was Germany one of the best teams in the current WC and WC history and no one expected this match to go to penalties honestly. One of the craziest penalty shootouts I’ve ever seen ! Honestly what did we just witness 🤯 , the mix of emotions in the game was crazy but the penalties was something else!!! GGs nothing but huge respect to Paraguay.. 🇵🇾🇩🇪

First half saw a Paraguay defensive masterclass, EXACTLY what i was hyping them up for in the lead up to the World Cup. Proper shithousery too. Goal that came out of nowhere too, a perfect situation for Paraguay. Second half Paraguay REALLY sat back, but unfortunately for them also conceded there. There really isnt too much you can say about it, Paraguay defend extensively and Germany wasn’t able to create enough. Precisely how Paraguay likes it. So im not surprised it went to extra time. Paraguay have the lowest average of goals out of all countries for a reason, they can defend well even against Germany. Yes they conceded 4 against USA but i think its a mental thing for Paraguay where after they concede they make more mistakes before being able to pick it up again. USA hit them many times in a short window, Germany had more dangerous chances right after scoring too. And also, Paraguay just plays better against stronger opponents, thats just a actual fact lmao. First time extra time in a round of 32, and first time this World Cup, and what a incredible bit of drama from Tah scoring a header but after all the celebrations VAR ruling the goal out for a foul on the goalie. BBC commentators said it was ‘soft’, i think theyre stupid. You cant just push a goalie to the ground. These fouls weren’t called in the Premier League, but were everywhere else for a good reason. Good call from VAR imo who have stayed in the background quite a lot this tournament. Germany really lost their heads from it all, so incredibly mad at everything while theyre the only ones to blame on why they weren’t winning. Absolutely loved the shithousing, shameless flop in the 113th minute and it was hilarious. Also a crazy sliding from Musiala, actual leg breaker if it connects, should get a red for that ridiculous to get in like that, insane headloss. Penalties is EXACTLY what Paraguay play for and just like that Germany are OUT!!!!! Fucking scenes man. I love this sport so fucking much. (2000)
