So the odds are slim.
voice-verified
No, but they might be the same or close to Paraguay beating Germany.
voice-verified
I'd put it in that realm.
voice-verified
What if Canada's the next Paraguay?
voice-verified
Well, that kind of leads me into the next question here, which is what's Canada's best hope of winning?
voice-verified
And I went, I did a bit of a deep dive, if you will, on that Paraguay-Germany match.
voice-verified
A couple things stood out.
voice-verified
Now, one, Paraguay plays a very defensive shape.
voice-verified
They play a 4-5-1.
voice-verified
So that's four at the back with five midfielders, as opposed to what Marsh was talking about going to in the second half of the Switzerland match, which I guess would have been a 5-4-1 or a 5-3-2.
voice-verified
Whatever the case, you basically got two blocks and equating nine players, a five and a four, four and a five.
voice-verified
Paraguay's played it throughout qualifying and everything.
voice-verified
They only play with a lone striker and they made themselves very tough to break down with.
voice-verified
They call it breaking lines.
voice-verified
The passes that go from the top sort of vertically through.
voice-verified
And they forced the Germans to the outside.
voice-verified
The Germans launched three.
voice-verified
32 crosses in the match against Paraguay.
voice-verified
One of them was successful, the Kaya Havertz goal.
voice-verified
Outside of that, Paraguay did a great job of packing the middle, allowing possession.
