Commits five fouls in loss to USA
Cubas committed five fouls in Friday's 4-1 loss to the USA.
Analysis: Cubas put in a hard-working, defensively focused performance, but was often outnumbered and overrun by the United States' relentless midfield pressure. While he showed his usual commitment and ball-winning instincts, the match highlighted how difficult it was for Paraguay to establish any control in central midfield.
Key midfield presence for Paraguay
Cubas is expected to start in central midfield for Paraguay in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Analysis: Cubas might not be as flashy as other midfielders, such as Miguel Almiron and Julio Enciso (thigh), but he has an important tactical role in Gustavo Alfaro's scheme. Cubas is the one who should slot in midfield right between the playmakers and the defensive line in an effort to control the tempo. That said, as a defensive-minded player who rarely gets forward, his fantasy appeal shouldn't be very high.
