Germany dumped out by Paraguay, Klopp speaks

Germany are out, the team that beat you 7–1

The World Cup just lost a giant. Germany went out Monday night, knocked off by Paraguay 1–1 (3–4 pens) in the round of 16 (1) (3). Orlando Gill saved two penalties for Paraguay, including shots from Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz. Antonio Sanabria and Julio Enciso converted theirs. Antonio Rudiger scored his, but it was not enough, Jonathan Tah and Waldemar Anton both had their spot-kicks saved. Germany, four-time champions, are gone before the quarterfinals. The same Germany that put seven past Curaçao in the group stage could not get past a Paraguay side that refused to break.

Curaçao 0–2 Costa do Marfim

Diomandé, who faced Curaçao, now wanted by PSG and Liverpool

Yan Diomandé played against your team for Ivory Coast. Now Liverpool and PSG are circling. The RB Leipzig forward shares an agency with Vini Júnior, Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports manages him (2). Diomandé kept it cool when asked: "Negotiations with clubs are for my staff. It's a great opportunity to be in this World Cup setting. I want to stay focused, enjoy it, and defend my country" (2).

Klopp unloads on Germany after the exit

Jürgen Klopp did not hold back. "There are 500,000 ways to win a football match. You only need to find one. There was one goal, one dream, and it was destroyed. It was dramatic. We couldn't play well," he said after the Paraguay loss (3). The crisis talk in Germany is loud now, pressure on Julian Nagelsmann, questions about the future, and a nation asking how a group that included Curaçao ended with an early knockout.
