Paraguay captain Gustavo Gómez says his side will put in a combative display during the World Cup last-32 match against Germany on Monday.
After a 4-1 opening defeat against co-hosts the US, coach Gustavo Alfaro's team kept two clean sheets - including in the 1-0 win against Turkey despite playing with a man down for a full half.
"In the three matches - regardless of the results - we have shown that we can fight well," Gómez said. "It will be no different tomorrow. That is our identity."
Earlier, Gómez posted a rallying cry on social media for the game in Foxborough.
"We are back to compete, and we will fight until the end. We have brought Paraguay to the world stage!" the 33-year-old wrote on Instagram. "It is not over yet."
