WORLD CUP QUALIFYING: CONSUR B V NACRA

29.09.2012
Bermuda v Paraguay in Asuncion (WCQ Amer.; NACRA/CONSUR Playoff)

Venue: Club Univesitario de Asuncion

Referee: Joaquin Montes (Uruguay)

Preview
The money would be on Paraguay one would think in this encounter. Bermuda would have had to make a number of flights to get to Paraguay so I’m imagining they will be very travel weary when they take the field.

These two teams have never met before in a test match
