Paraguay has pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament after winning against Germany. Paraguayan footballer Julio Enciso put the team ahead with a header just before the first half ended. Both teams drew 1-1 at 120 minutes before the underdog won the penalty shootout 4-3 to book their place in the round of 16. Meanwhile, the Socceroos will take on Egypt on Saturday, with Socceroos forward Tete Yengi saying on Tuesday AEST that Egypt will "be an aggressive team, they'll fight for everything". But midfielder Jackson Irvine said the team are ready to do something "no Australian team has done before".
