Paraguay Stuns Germany in Penalty Shootout

Paraguay knocked four-time champions Germany out of the World Cup in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw, the biggest upset of the tournament so far.

Germany had a goal controversially disallowed by VAR in extra time, with Thomas Muller saying the team felt 'used and cheated' by the decision.

The result has cast doubt over the future of Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann, while Jurgen Klopp also weighed in with frustration over the disallowed goal.

The defeat marks Germany's earliest World Cup exit in decades and continues a pattern of underperformance since their 2014 title win.
