Paraguay's France showdown awaits, Germany still reeling

France on Saturday, your biggest game in 16 years

Paraguay face France in the World Cup round of 16 on Saturday (1) (2) (3). Kick-off is set for a scorching evening, temperatures could push the match toward a delay, with organisers monitoring conditions closely (7) (9). This is your first knockout match since 2010, and it comes with a familiar name waiting: Kylian Mbappé (5). Julio Enciso, Gustavo Gómez, and José Canale are all expected to start (5).

Germany still can't believe what you did to them

Paraguay 1–1 Germany. Penalties: 4–3. Jonathan Tah missed, José Canale buried the winner, and the four-time champions were gone (3) (4). That was last Monday in the round of 32. It remains the tournament's biggest upset. President Santiago Peña declared a national holiday the next day.

Klopp: not today

The fallout in Germany is real. The German FA started talks with Jürgen Klopp after the Paraguay defeat (4) (8). Klopp addressed it directly: "Today is not the day for the Jürgen Klopp personnel question" (8). Paraguay did not just knock Germany out, they set off a coaching crisis.
