A history of Paraguayan football, the sleeping giant of South America

These Football Times

South America is one of the hotbeds of football, and in this series we explore the different nations of the continent. In each episode of The South America Files, we'll be looking at how the game has developed; the clubs, the players, the joys and despairs. In this episode, we visit Paraguay and discover how and why this landlocked country with just seven million inhabitants has lifted two Copa América titles and produced the most famous goalscoring goalkeeper.
