Germany meet Paraguay on Monday, June 29 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, in a round of 32 clash that will decide who advances to face France or Sweden in the last 16. The four time champions arrive under pressure after stumbling to a 2 1 defeat against Ecuador in their final group game, a result that ended a winning run but did not cost them top spot in Group E.
Paraguay reach the knockouts after a mixed Group D campaign that began with a 4 1 opening defeat to hosts USA before two clean sheet results, a 1 0 win over Turkiye and a 0 0 draw with Australia, secured their place among the eight best third place finishers. The two nations have met only once before at a World Cup, with Germany winning 1 0 in the 2002 round of 16, and a 2013 friendly that finished 3 3 is the only other meeting on record.
This blog covers how to watch Germany vs Paraguay, the latest team news, full squad lists for both sides, a detailed tactical preview, and complete tournament context for Football World Cup in 2026.

Germany vs Paraguay Football World Cup in 2026 Team News
Germany Team News
Julian Nagelsmann has led Germany since September 2023, taking the team to the quarterfinals of EURO 2024 on home soil before falling to eventual champions Spain. Before that, he became the Bundesliga’s youngest ever coach at Hoffenheim aged 28 and the youngest ever Champions League coach at Leipzig aged 31, before two trophy laden seasons at Bayern Munich.
Germany topped Group E with a 7 1 win over Curacao and a 2 1 victory against Ivory Coast, before a 2 1 defeat to Ecuador in their final group game, a result that came after they had already secured top spot. Germany legend Toni Kroos publicly criticised the display, saying the side needs to defend with more grit and get Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz back to top form, or risk an early knockout exit.
Nico Schlotterbeck suffered a tournament ending injury against Ivory Coast and will play no further part in the competition, with Antonio Rudiger deputising at centre back alongside Jonathan Tah. Nathaniel Brown is a minor injury doubt at left back, while Lennart Karl withdrew before the tournament with a torn muscle and was replaced by Assan Ouedraogo.
Captain Joshua Kimmich has over 100 caps for Germany and was named captain in September 2024, operating as a right back who can also drop into midfield. The biggest pre tournament story was 40 year old Manuel Neuer reversing his international retirement to start in goal, a decision Nagelsmann confirmed before the tournament began.
Florian Wirtz is making his World Cup debut after missing the 2022 finals through an ACL injury, while Jamal Musiala has recovered from a serious injury suffered at the 2025 Club World Cup and is building towards full sharpness. Nagelsmann typically sets his side up in a 4 2 3 1 shape, with Musiala and Wirtz operating just behind lone striker Kai Havertz and Leroy Sane providing width on the right.
Germany go into the tournament chasing a fifth World Cup star after group stage exits in 2018 and 2022, and expectations remain high given the attacking talent in the squad despite the recent wobble.
Paraguay Team News
Gustavo Alfaro took charge of Paraguay in August 2024 after the team had collected only five points from 18 available in a difficult qualifying campaign. The Argentine coach previously managed Ecuador at the 2022 World Cup, where his side beat hosts Qatar and drew with the Netherlands, and he also had a spell in charge of Costa Rica before joining Paraguay.
Under Alfaro, Paraguay lost only once in 12 qualifying matches, a narrow 1 0 defeat away to Brazil, while also beating both Brazil and Argentina at home during the campaign. Paraguay reached this World Cup for the first time since 2010, qualifying through a sixth place finish in the CONMEBOL standings.
Paraguay opened the tournament with a heavy 4 1 defeat to hosts USA before Alfaro shifted to a more conservative setup, grinding out a 1 0 win over Turkiye and a 0 0 draw with Australia to advance as one of the best third placed teams. The South American side has kept back to back clean sheets heading into the knockout rounds, built on defensive discipline rather than open attacking football.
Miguel Almiron was sent off against Turkiye and will be suspended for this match, while Diego Gomez is also suspended after picking up the bookings needed to trigger a ban. Omar Alderete is a fitness doubt heading into the game, adding to selection pressure on a Paraguay side already missing two regular starters.
Captain Gustavo Gomez anchors the defence alongside Fabian Balbuena, with both centre backs playing in Brazilian football at Palmeiras and Gremio respectively. Julio Enciso is Paraguay’s headline attacking talent, though he has managed only a modest 1.1 expected goals output across the team’s three group games, and he will need more support from his teammates in the final third.
Alfaro typically deploys a 4 4 2 or 4 3 3 built around defensive discipline, compact lines, and rapid transitions, a style that fits a squad better suited to frustrating opponents than dominating possession. Reaching the round of 16 would represent a major achievement for a Paraguay side returning to the World Cup stage after a 16 year absence.
Germany World Cup squad
- Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer, Oliver Baumann, Alexander Nubel
- Defenders: Antonio Rudiger, Waldemar Anton, Jonathan Tah, Nico Schlotterbeck, Nathaniel Brown, David Raum, Malick Thiaw
- Midfielders: Aleksandar Pavlovic, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Jamie Leweling, Jamal Musiala, Pascal Gross, Angelo Stiller, Florian Wirtz, Leroy Sane, Nadiem Amiri, Felix Nmecha, Lennart Karl
- Attackers: Kai Havertz, Nick Woltemade, Maximilian Beier, Deniz Undav
Paraguay World Cup squad
- Goalkeepers: Gatito Fernandez, Orlando Gill, Gaston Olveira
- Defenders: Gustavo Gomez, Junior Alonso, Fabian Balbuena, Omar Alderete, Juan Jose Caceres, Gustavo Velazquez, Jose Canale, Alexandro Maidana
- Midfielders: Miguel Almiron, Kaku, Andres Cubas, Ramon Sosa, Diego Gomez, Damian Bobadilla, Braian Ojeda, Matias Galarza, Mauricio
- Attackers: Antonio Sanabria, Julio Enciso, Gabriel Avalos, Alex Arce, Isidro Pitta, Gustavo Caballero
Germany VS Paraguay Match Preview
Germany and Paraguay meet at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on June 29, with a round of 16 meeting against France or Sweden awaiting the winner on July 4. The fixture is only the second competitive meeting between the two nations, after Germany’s 1 0 win in the 2002 round of 16, and adds extra intrigue given how differently each side has performed across the group stage.
Germany finished top of Group E thanks to a 7 1 demolition of Curacao and a 2 1 win over Ivory Coast, scoring ten goals across three games through seven different scorers, though the 2 1 defeat to Ecuador exposed cracks in defence and form. Paraguay limped through Group D with a 4 1 opening loss to the USA before tightening up defensively to beat Turkiye 1 0 and draw 0 0 with Australia, advancing as a best third placed team with just four points.
For Germany, anything less than a convincing win will intensify scrutiny on Nagelsmann after Toni Kroos’s public warning about the team’s fragility and lack of physicality. For Paraguay, simply reaching the last 16 would mark a famous achievement for a side back at the World Cup for the first time since 2010, though they will have to do it without two suspended midfielders.
Tactical Outlook
Germany are expected to set up in their usual 4 2 3 1, with Musiala and Wirtz tucked behind Havertz and Sane providing width, looking to overwhelm Paraguay through quick combinations in tight spaces.
Paraguay, missing suspended duo Miguel Almiron and Diego Gomez, are likely to sit in a compact 4 4 2 or 4 3 3 under Alfaro, prioritising defensive shape and looking to hit Germany on the counter through Julio Enciso and Antonio Sanabria.
The key tactical battle pits Germany’s high pressing front line against a Paraguay defence anchored by captain Gustavo Gomez and Fabian Balbuena, both proven performers in Brazilian football who conceded just ten goals across 18 qualifiers.
Germany need their attacking trio to rediscover sharpness and their backline to tighten up following the Ecuador defeat, while Paraguay need disciplined defending for ninety minutes plus a moment of magic from Enciso to spring an upset.

2026 Football World Cup Preview
This year’s 2026 Football World Cup is shaping up to be the most ambitious and expansive edition of football’s grandest stage. The 23rd edition of the tournament will be held from June 11 to July 19, jointly hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
For the first time ever, three nations are co-hosting the Football World Cup; a milestone that reflects both the scale of the event and the growing global footprint of the beautiful game.
2026 Football World Cup Format Explained: 48 Nations, 104 Matches
An expanded Football World Cup will feature 48 teams, 16 more than in Qatar 2022, and take place across three host nations for the first time. This expansion fundamentally changes the tournament’s structure.
The competition consists of 12 groups of four teams, with each team playing three matches in their respective groups. The top two teams from each group and the eight best third-placed teams across the tournament advance to the knockout Round of 32.
With 32 teams advancing, the knockout stage now includes a Round of 32, a Round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final, meaning there will be 104 matches in total, 40 more than in Qatar. As a result, this Football World Cup lasts 39 days instead of the roughly 32 days of previous tournaments.
16 Host Cities Across 3 Nations in the 2026 Football World Cup
There are 16 host cities in total, with 11 in the United States, three in Mexico, and two in Canada.
The cities where games take place include Toronto and Vancouver in Canada; Monterrey, Mexico City, and Guadalajara in Mexico; and San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, and New York/New Jersey in the United States.
The opening match was especially historic. The tournament kicked off at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, where Mexico faced South Africa, making it one of the most iconic venues in Football World Cup history and the first stadium to host games at three different men’s Football World Cups.
The final is set for an equally iconic setting. The knockout stage will conclude with the final, to be held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on July 19.
The Stars to Watch in the 2026 Football World Cup
The 2026 Football World Cup features a massive mix of established superstars and next-generation talent. Here are the names central to the tournament conversation:
Established Legends
- Lionel Messi — Argentina’s captain, widely expected to play his final Football World Cup

2026 Football World Cup Knockout Stage: The Road to the Final
The knockout stage of the 2026 Football World Cup is the second and final stage of the competition, played from June 28 to July 19, 2026. The top two teams from each of the twelve groups, along with the best eight third-place teams, have advanced to compete in a single-elimination tournament.

Prize Money and Commercial Scale of the 2026 Football World Cup
The prize money for this Football World Cup was confirmed at an official meeting in Doha. The prize fund is up 50 per cent on that of the 2022 Football World Cup in Qatar, and each team also receives $1.5m to cover preparation costs, meaning every team is guaranteed at least $10.5m.
The United States last hosted the men’s Football World Cup in 1994, and that tournament still holds the record as the most attended Football World Cup with 3.6 million fans. That record will certainly be shattered in 2026 with fans entering turnstiles in three countries.
