The knockout stages of the World Cup are in full swing, with penalty shootout drama and VAR controversy already featuring. Here are today's quick hits.

Paraguay's players have turned themselves into football legends by defeating ⁠Germany in the World Cup on Monday, coach Gustavo Alfaro said.

Paraguay had gone in front when Julio Enciso headed home late in the first half, before Kai Havertz equalised in the 52nd minute for the four-time world champions. Paraguay will next face the winner of France and Sweden on July 4 in Philadelphia.

Orlando Gill knew Paraguay was a big underdog against Germany in their World Cup knockout-round opener. Heck, he was even a little starstruck himself.

Paraguay stunned four-time world champions Germany 4-3 on penalties on Monday to advance to the World Cup round of 16 in one of the biggest upsets in ​the competition's history, after the teams were tied 1-1 over 120 minutes.
