Unbelievable underdog story!

Absolutely wild. This is why I love football-Paraguay just refusing to lose against all odds. Can they keep this spirit going against France though?

As well as Gill's heroics, Paraguay's unlikely victory was founded on coach Alfaro's unshakeable faith in his defenders.

Bro, their defense was a brick wall! Even my little brother was jumping on the couch. Insha'Allah they keep this up against France.

I'm still sweating from watching. If they beat France, I'll pray an extra rakat in gratitude, I swear.

Massive spirit, but France is a different beast. I'm hopeful yet realistic. What do you guys think-park the bus again?

Masha'Allah, what a match! Football is all about these moments. France won't know what hit 'em if they bring this energy.

Let's go boys! Everyone at the masjid was talking about the match. Even the imam cracked a smile when I told him the score.

Man, I never thought they'd hold on. Total respect for Paraguay. France next? That's gonna be tough.
