Paraguay’s First Loss Of The World Cup: $110,000 In Paris

And this might be the only way the French can get the upper hand on a quality opponent.

↵On Monday, Paraguay’s World Cup squad was reported to have had $110,000 in cash stolen from a hotel room in Evian-les-Bains.

↵A thief posed as a Paraguayan athlete and got a member of the hotel staff to let him into a room.

↵Police are understandably suspicious. A man of Paraguayan appearance dressed in athletic attire was in possession of a room key, knew which rooms the team were staying in, and asked to be let in to the room that had $110,000 in it.

↵So how many of the Paraguayan players were in on it? Because second place in Group F may have just swung toward Slovakia.

↵Whichever players did it, “don’t go buyin’ nothin’ nice for a while.”
