Shocking World Cup Soccer Score: #29 Paraguay 1, #5 Italy 0, first half

Antolin Alcaraz of Paraguay
In a shocking FIFA World Cup Soccer score at the half, its #29 Paraguay 1, #5 Italy 0. While Italy has been faster to the ball, and has more time of possession 57 percent to 43 percent according to ESPN, Paraguay has played with more team work and hustle in the rain.

Paraguay's AntolĂ­n Alcaraz scored the first goal with a monster kick that sent the ball flying past Italy's Goalie Gianluigi Buffon and into the net.

Considering Italy played in Paraguay's part of the field most of the game, that Paraguay got the score was amazing. Simply, Paraguay took better advantage of their fewer opportunities.

Paraguay, the 29th ranked team, was expected to see Italy's cleats; not happening.

Still, its the first half of a great World Cup Soccer Game.
