The Paraguay national football team faced harsh criticism from José Luis Chilavert after their 4-1 thrashing by the United States in the 2026 World Cup. The historic Guarani goalkeeper launched sharp criticism against the players of the Albirroja, who were thrashed in their debut.
Gustavo Alfaro's team lost by a landslide to the United States, which generated a general unease in Paraguayan territory.
The defeat is a blow to the team, which hoped to start the dream with the right foot in the 2026 World Cup.
Chilavert was furious about the team's behavior after being thrashed in the debut: "We lost by a landslide and then we see all the players taking selfies with their families as if we were in Disney".
The Paraguay national football team's next match is against Australia on 2026-06-26.
