AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

World Cup Shock in Asunción: Paraguay President Santiago Peña signed a decree declaring a national holiday for Tuesday after La Albirroja stunned Germany 4-3 on penalties (1-1 after extra time) to reach the Round of 16, calling it a celebration of “grit” and a “historic day” for the country. VAR Backlash: Germany’s Thomas Müller blasted the VAR call that disallowed Jonathan Tah’s extra-time winner, saying it “should never have been taken away,” as the match swung into a shootout. Next Match Focus: Paraguay will face the winner of France vs Sweden in the last 16 in Philadelphia, with Peña and the team already signaling more public celebration. Diplomacy Watch: Separately, US-Iran talks are set for Tuesday in Doha, with Iran saying no “technical talks” are scheduled while insisting $6B in Qatar funds should be released under a US deal.
