United StatesPresident Santiago Peña of Paraguay has closely aligned himself with his nation's success in the FIFA World Cup, using the event to promote national unity and his political agenda. After Paraguay defeated Germany in the World Cup, Peña declared a national holiday and wore the team's jersey while watching the match from his home. However, following Paraguay's loss to the United States, some citizens speculated that Peña's presence might have brought bad luck, leading him to skip subsequent matches. Despite opportunities to attend games and engage with U.S. tech leaders, Peña opted to stay in Paraguay for official duties, including a congressional address and a Mercosur summit. He plans to watch Paraguay's upcoming match against France from home, citing personal superstition.
