Mondial-2026: le Paraguay crée la surprise en sortant l'Allemagne et attend la France ou la Suède en 8e
Paraguay created the first major upset of the 2026 World Cup by eliminating Germany on penalties (1-1, 4-3 on penalties) in the round of 32 on Monday in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and will face France or Sweden in the round of 16 next Saturday in Philadelphia.
Sixteen years after their last appearance, the South Americans secured victory thanks to a goal from their sixth penalty taker, José Canale. Strasbourg's Julio Enciso (42nd minute) had opened the scoring in the first half before Kai Havertz equalized for Germany in the 54th minute.
For Germany, the World Cups are starting to look all too similar: the four-time world champions had suffered two humiliating group stage exits in 2018 in Russia and 2022 in Qatar. While they did manage to get past the first round this time, their elimination against the 34th-ranked nation in the world is another major disappointment.
