Germany eliminated from 2026 World Cup after Paraguay loss

German national team coach Julian Nagelsmann and his squad were knocked out in the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup following a 1‑0 defeat to Paraguay. Reporters on the ground described a largely emotionless atmosphere in the team’s U‑S. training base, noting that captain Joshua Kimmich was the only player showing visible anger.

Commentators criticised Nagelsmann’s strained demeanor during the tournament and called for an immediate reassessment of the coaching staff, suggesting a full restart may be required for future competitions.
