Germany eliminated from World Cup after disallowed goal against Paraguay
Summary

Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann criticized FIFA's officiating after his team's elimination from the 2026 World Cup. In their Round of 32 match against Paraguay, a header from Jonathan Tah that appeared to give Germany a 2-1 lead was disallowed due to a VAR decision citing goalie interference. Paraguay's Orlando Gill was involved in the incident and later excelled in the penalty shootout, where Paraguay won 4-3. This match marks Paraguay's first advancement in the World Cup in 16 years. The team will face either France or Sweden in the Round of 16 on July 4.
