Paraguay
Paraguay's World Cup history began well reaching three of the first six finals but was none existant in the Sixties and Seventies. They finally returned to the finals in 1986 and now Germany 2006 sees them reaching their third consecutive World Cup.
They have their supporters who believe they can do well in Germany but with a patchy qualification period showing eight wins, for draws and six defeats, and having let in as many goals as they scored, they're never talked about on the same level as Brazil and Argentina.
Paraguay have never got past the second round with their Group B opponents England having put them out resoundingly in Mexico 86. Ruiz does have some young talent to call on but Paraguay's hopes rest on beating their previous second-round attempts. [Latest Paraguay Squad News]
