Matchday ten of the South American qualifying competition for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ proved a perfect one for Paraguay. While they were winning again to put one foot firmly in the finals, Argentina and Brazil stumbled to leave the race for the remaining three automatic spots tighter than ever. Only five points separate the quintet of sides chasing the Albirroja, and with eight rounds still to go the two continental giants still have much to do.
