In the Nacional area, attention is focused on the World Cup and Paraguay's chances of advancing. The team is considering the possibility of a draw against Australia as a means to move forward as one of the best third-place finishers. The new 48-team World Cup format has created some uncertainty, particularly regarding the classification of the best third-place teams in the group stage.

This has led to speculation, especially for groups that conclude their first-round matches towards the end. Further details on Paraguay's strategy and the implications of the World Cup format are available from sources such as El País.
