The Blues are moving forward like a steamroller. After a flawless group performance and a demonstration against Sweden (3-0), they became the first selection in history to score at least three goals in five consecutive World Cup matches. Kylian Mbappé, six goals in the tournament and two assists, joined Lionel Messi at the top of the top scorers, while Ousmane Dembélé and Michael Olise feast. Opposite, Paraguay arrives as heroes after defeating Germany on penalties, a feat celebrated by a public holiday declared throughout the country.

Here’s where to watch Paraguay France live and in HD depending on your country:

• In France: free on M6 and M6+ (and on beIN Sports for subscribers).
• In Belgium: free on RTBF, unencrypted on Auvio.
• In Switzerland: free on RTS, via Play RTS.
• Elsewhere and for expatriates: a VPN like CyberGhost (€1.59/month, 45 day trial), then M6+, RTBF or RTS.

For expats and people abroad, a VPN is enough to remove the obstacle, and one must understand why it becomes necessary. M6+ controls each connection based on the IP address, then blocks the video if it does not point to France. By switching to a French, Belgian or Swiss address, you delete this signal and the platform reopens its direct connection to you.

Paraguay France: the Blues launched towards the third star

France approaches this eighth with the status of number one favorite and a dynamic that is difficult to contain. Kylian Mbappé’s double against Sweden lifted him to six goals in the tournament, level with Lionel Messi, and his World Cup tally puts him very close to the Argentine’s record. Around the captain, Didier Deschamps has a profusion of talents, Ousmane Dembélé launched in the race for the Golden Shoe, Michael Olise already at the head of the passers, not to mention a bench full of Désiré Doué, Rayan Cherki or Jean-Philippe Mateta. The coach, who says he is “on a mission” to win a third star after 1998 and 2018, has a group built to go far. Paraguay arrives with the label of giant hunter.

Under the direction of Gustavo Alfaro, who arrived in the summer of 2024 to turn around a team that was in poor shape, the Albirroja was built around a disciplined low block and constant aggressiveness. It was this recipe that brought Germany down on penalties, with a goal from Julio Enciso then a session controlled by its goalkeeper. The limit is known, only one achievement in six World Cup knockout matches in its history, and reduced offensive production. To hope, the South Americans will have to lock in spaces and emerge on the rare transitions offered by Miguel Almirón and Enciso. The only precedent between the two nations in the World Cup dates back to the eighth of 1998, won 1-0 by the Blues on a golden goal from Laurent Blanc. Twenty-eight years later, the gap in level remains wide, but a team that defends so well can turn the evening into a test of patience.

The winner will join the quarter-finals on July 9 in Foxborough, near Boston, against the winner of Canada-Morocco, with France the prospect of a rematch of the 2022 semi-final if Morocco passes. Beyond this match, a VPN is useful all year round. It gives access to competitions not on the French grids, a Premier League match or a Formula 1 Grand Prix, unlocks streaming catalogs which change depending on the country, and protects your data on the open Wi-Fi of a hotel or airport, on vacation or on business trips.
