WC 2006: Paraguay's secret weapon
2006-06-08 19:11
by Bob Timmermann

The Paraguayan team is breaking out a secret weapon for its match against England on Saturday in Frankfurt.

No, it's not a new player. It's not a new formation.

They plan to speak in Guaraní. Guaraní is spoken by about 90% of the population. Paraguay also has a department (as it calls its internal divisions) named Rutherford B. Hayes. It's Department Presidente Hayes.

Hayes helped to arbitrate the treaty that ended the War of the Triple Alliance.

Kelly Clarkson understands; it speaks to her.

I thought it would be using Chilavert as the center back.

I wish Paraguay would start Aido Bobadilla in goal.

Because that is one cool name to say.
