Anyone who says, oh, but it was Paraguay, you don't know football and you need to watch a lot more.

And they were perfect.

They were the best team so far.

Energy, transition, risk-reward, understanding everything that they had to do.

Now...

That's one performance.

And you were at the game.

They played in the top gear the whole time.

It was almost like they were running downhill the entire time.

I don't know that you can play that way for 90 minutes, eight, nine games in a row.

I mean, look at this.

I mean, they didn't make mistakes in possession.

They didn't make mistakes out of possession aside from the goal.

They were really good.

Now they're going to be tested when it comes to, like, France, Spain, some of the big boys that are going to come into the tournament.

Can they manage the moments?

Because they're not going to be able to play 90 minutes like just rock and roll football like they did the other night.

They're going to have to manage different moments when they're under a little bit of fire.

They're going to have to play a little bit more in like a defensive shape, sort of like we did at TST a couple of years ago.

So we'll see if they're able to manage it.
