Germany eliminated on penalties, Nagelsmann wants to continue
The German national football team was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup already in the first round of the knockout stage after a loss to Paraguay. The match in Boston ended 1:1 after extra time, and the South Americans prevailed in the penalty shootout 4:3. Die Zeit ↗
Defender Jonathan Tah became the key figure in Germany's disappointment. In extra time, he headed the ball into the net for an apparent 2:1 lead, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review found a foul by Waldemar Anton on Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill. Several German assessments called the decision controversial, and according to refereeing experts, the goal should have stood. Sueddeutsche Zeitung ↗
Tah was then also involved in the decisive moment of the shootout. In sudden death, he shot over the crossbar, and José Canale subsequently converted the penalty that sent Paraguay through. For Germany, this was their first-ever penalty shootout defeat at a World Cup. Paraguay relied heavily on goalkeeper Gill, who, according to available information, had thoroughly analyzed the German penalty takers. BBC News ↗
Coach Julian Nagelsmann sees no reason to resign after the elimination and wants to continue with the national team. Following yet another major tournament failure, Germany now faces pressure to evaluate the performance, while Paraguay will build on advancing past a favored opponent in the next stage.
