You do not represent Paraguay, a country that sweats passion and honor throughout the tournament.”<\/p>\n “Through your recklessness and brazen racism, the entire world has already forgotten the journey and historic efforts of our players at this World Cup, giving way to an incompetent woman who paints the worst image of her country. I will never allow people like her the freedom to spread hate and racism around the world.”<\/p>\n After all, while Mbapp\u00e9 is probably the best footballer on the planet at the moment and is likely to lift the famous World Cup trophy this summer, Amarilla is an abomination who doesn’t deserve the headlines she deserves.<\/p>\n There was clearly some bad blood between Mbapp\u00e9 and some of the Paraguayan players, but nothing excuses such comments.<\/p>\n It is very worrying how often these languages \u200b\u200bbecome mainstream, even though society in general has made great progress.<\/p>\n Mbappe was right and let’s hope he can now focus on what he does best: being an absolute ballplayer on the football pitch and bringing joy to millions of people.<\/p>\n Want more catchoffside coverage?
