Where To Find Paraguay's Stars After The 2026 FIFA World Cup

Scores consolation goal Almiron scored one goal to go with seven shots (four on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 4-1 defeat versus New England Revolution.

Impact Almiron would be the lone player for Atlanta to find the back of the net Saturday, scoring in the 85th minute from an Aleksey Miranchuk assist. This is now two games straight with a goal for the attacker, appearing to have found his legs a bit following the World Cup run with Paraguay. He now has two goals and two assists on the season in 11 appearances, a key part of the team if they want to turn things around.

Finds back of net Almiron scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Charlotte FC.

Impact Almiron was the hero of the match for Atlanta on Wednesday, as his solo goal in the 76th minute would equalize the game and earn his team a point. This is a huge breakthrough for the midfielder, as it is his first goal of the season in 10 appearances, trying to recover after a rough start to the season. He also has two assists, with three goal contributions on the campaign.

Unproductive versus France Almiron generated one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against France.

Impact Almiron saw his upside affected by a clear French dominance during Saturday's knockout matchup. He managed to record a couple of successful dribbles but went a fourth straight contest without a goal or assist, closing a disappointing tournament performance. He also had a slow start to the MLS campaign during the opening months of 2026, so he should look to regain his best level towards the second half of the season.

Serviceable in Germany fixture Almiron drew three fouls and had one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and three clearances in Monday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout win against Germany.

Impact Almiron resumed starting following his suspension and was solid on both ends, putting up a small amount of numbers across the board. He often had his way on the flank and combined well with Matias Galarza ahead of his side's only goal. He has posted multiple tackles in three consecutive appearances, amassing seven (five won) and adding two shots (zero on target), two key passes and two interceptions over that span.

Back from ban Almiron is no longer suspended and is an option for Paraguay again.

Impact Almiron has cleared his suspension and looks as if he will get another match at the World Cup, as Paraguay are now likely to make the round of 32. He should then immediately return to the starting XI, especially with Diego Gomez now suspended for a game. Almiron can play on either wing of the attack, likely to fill in on the right as Julio Enciso starts on the left.

Shown red card Almiron was shown a red card in stoppage time of the first half of Friday's match against Turkiye.

Impact Almiron would be the first player to be sent off for the "Vini rule" at the World Cup on Friday, as he was shown his marching orders for covering his mouth as he talked to a Turkiye player. This will leave him out for their final group stage match, a major loss for the team as he is a major part of their attack and a veteran presence. He hopes this doesn't end his World Cup as well, as Paraguay is far from safe from qualifying for the knockouts.

Sees yellow for simulation in loss Almiron took two shots (off target), committed one foul, suffered one foul, and picked up a yellow card for simulation in Friday's 4-1 loss to the United States.

Impact Almiron was one of Paraguay's primary outlets in transition, but the match never developed in a way that allowed him to consistently influence the attack. The United States' control of midfield possession and defensive organization largely neutralized his biggest strengths. While he had moments of positive ball progression and attacking intent, he was unable to produce the decisive chance creation or finishing that Paraguay needed to challenge the Americans.

Primary playmaker for Paraguay Almiron should have an important role as one of Paraguay's main playmakers in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Impact Almiron hasn't had his best season with Atlanta United in 2026, notching just two assists across eight appearances in the current league campaign. However, Almiron tends to play a critical role in Paraguay due to his extensive experience in Europe, and he's ticketed to be one of Los Guaranies' main playmaking threats alongside Julio Enciso (thigh).

Picked for bench Almiron (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Columbus.

Impact Almiron was back in training this week, and that has led to his return, with the attacker set for a bench role Sunday. He will look for a few minutes to test his legs, but is unlikely to be risked too much, as he is set to play in the World Cup with Paraguay in just a few weeks.
