Paraguay Sends Germany Out of FIFA World Cup 2026 [Video]

Germany have been knocked out of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Philips News reports that Germany have been eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup ‎after losing 4-3 on penalties against Paraguay.

For the first time in their history, Germany lost a World Cup game on penalties. For the second time in a week, Germany played the game their opponents wanted rather than taking control themselves.

“Only thing I can say is I’m sorry. To disappoint again is not a nice feeling,” Kai Havertz, who missed one of Germany’s penalties, told ZDF afterwards. “We tried to [attack via] the flanks, but unfortunately it didn’t really work out. And I don’t think we deserved to win this time.”

“Even though the elimination hurts: What a game,” German Chancellor Friedrich Merz wrote on social media. “With your dedication and team spirit at this World Cup, you’ve inspired our country. We’re proud of you.”

Despite coming back from a goal down in normal time, and denying Paraguay the winning penalty twice, Germany were unable to win.
