World Cup 2010 Feature Coverage

Paraguay and Japan are playing for an immediate piece of soccer history: each team is poised to make the quarter-finals for the first time in its respective history. Japan is in fine form, and proving very versatile in its lineup. Paraguay's defense is legendary; the side has only given up a single goal so far in South Africa.

Players to watch
Justo Villar v Keisuke Honda

Injured in the opening minutes of Paraguay's Germany 2006 campaign, Villar has been seeking to make amends this time and conceded just one goal during the group campaign. The 32-year-old Paraguay captain, however, will have to be wary of Japan's danger man Honda, the midfielder-turned striker who has scored twice so far. The 25-year-old CSKA Moscow man has quickly become Japan's new talisman over the past months, scoring six goals which led to six wins.
