In the FIFA World Cup round of 16, France defeated Paraguay 1-0. In this match, the Paraguayan team committed multiple rough fouls that went unpunished. Regarding this, former German international Hitzlsperger, who was commentating on the match with Joe Hart, shared his views.
Hitzlsperger said: "If you're from Paraguay, you might like this team; they're like warriors. If you're French or a neutral fan, you might not be able to respect them anymore. This isn't just disgraceful, it's even worse."
"I had a lot of respect for them coming into the game. Joe Hart said 'disgraceful,' but I have some other German words to describe them, I just don't know how to say them in English. But now I have almost no respect for them, especially the way they behaved during the penalty incident (damaging the penalty spot)."
