The World Cup 2026 group stage has concluded and now the focus turns to the knockout rounds as nations look to progress as far as possible with sights set firmly on reaching the final in New York.
Germany are one of the favourites to go far in the tournament having finished top of Group E thanks to wins over Ivory Coast and Curacao. However, Julian Nagelsmann’s side lost their final group game against a fearless Ecudaor who overcame Leroy Sane’s early strike to triumph 2-1.
The Germans will take on a rather flacklustre Paraguay who finished third in Group D behind the USA and Australia. The South American side took four points from the group after a slim 1-0 win over Turkey and a goalless draw against Australia. But, they were soundly beaten 4-1 by the US and may find things difficult against a strong Germany.
Here’s everything you need to know about the last-32 tie:
The fixture will take place at Boston Stadium on Monday 29 June at 9.30pm BST (1.30am PT / 3.30pm CT / 4.30pm ET).
