[Scotty]

Just thought I would link some articles from Paraguayan newspapers. Perhaps those of you with better Spanish skills than mine can pitch in and help with some translations.

La Nación

"The next game against the United States will be a more complicated test for the 'Maño'. A tie against this opponent would be a good result, considering that it is most complicated of the three games anticipated in this tour."

-Fullback Diego Gavilán will join up with the team tomorrow. He is arriving from Brazil, where he plays his club football with Inter of Porto Alegre.
