Okay, so I was trying to figure out the standings between the Paraguay and Venezuela national football teams the other day. It wasn’t for anything serious, just catching up on the South American qualifiers, you know? Sometimes it’s hard to keep track of all the teams.
My Process
First thing I did was just think about the last few times they played. My memory’s a bit fuzzy on the exact scores, but I felt like Paraguay maybe had a slight edge recently? Not totally sure, though. That’s why I wanted to check the actual standings.

So, I went online. Didn’t use any fancy sports sites at first, just did a general search. Something like “Paraguay Venezuela football standings”. Got a mix of results, news articles about past games, upcoming fixtures, that sort of thing.
It took a bit of clicking around. Some sites just showed the overall World Cup qualifying table for CONMEBOL. That was useful, definitely showed where both teams were ranked compared to everyone else in South America, like Brazil, Argentina, and the rest.
Finding the Specifics
To get the head-to-head picture, I had to refine my search a bit. I looked specifically for “Paraguay vs Venezuela football history” or “results”. That gave me a better idea of their direct matches over the years.
Then I focused back on the current qualifiers. I pulled up the main standings table again. I usually look for a few key things:
- Points for each team.
- Games played.
- Wins, draws, losses.
- Goal difference (this often tells a story).
Comparing Paraguay and Venezuela directly on that table gave me the clearest picture of their current standing relative to each other in this specific competition. It wasn’t just about who won the last game, but their overall performance during the qualifiers up to that point.
Yeah, so basically, I started broad, then narrowed it down. Checked the overall table, then looked a bit into their past results just out of curiosity, and finally compared their positions on the current qualification standings. That gave me the info I was looking for.
