“Despicable woman” - Kylian Mbappe slams Paraguayan senator for “brazen racism” after World Cup clash
French newspaper L'Equipe gave World Cup referee Ilgiz Tantashev just their third 1/10 rating for an official in a decade after failing to clamp down on Paraguay's 'dark arts' in their World Cup last-16 tie. France secured a 1-0 win over Paraguay on Saturday with Kylian Mbappe's penalty enough to send Didier Deschamps team through to a quarter-final against Morocco. Paraguay had earned praise for their defensive resilience against France‚ who had scored three or more goals in their four previous matches at the tournament.
Paraguay have been branded a 'disgrace' and 'embarrassing' for the dirty tactics they used in their 1-0 World Cup defeat by France. Going up against the tournament favourites‚ the Paraguayans used every trick in the book to try and provoke their opponents‚ repeatedly fouling‚ faking injury and trying to wind up Les Bleus with overly aggressive conduct. They scuffed up the penalty spot‚ elbowed Dayot Upamecano in the ribs‚ palmed Jules Kounde's face‚ tried to get Michael Olise sent off with outrageous play-acting and somehow ended up without a single booking.

Julian Nagelsmann has fallen on his sword - quitting as Germany manager after their disastrous World Cup elimination by Paraguay and the row engulfing him regarding the team's wives and girlfriends. The 38-year-old saw his side knocked out in the round of 32 on penalties and the German FA gave him an ultimatum to step aside. He will now receive a £6m pay-off and ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has already been sounded out about taking over to revive the ailing football giant. Nagelsmann was summoned to a three-hour meeting at the DFB's headquarters in Frankfurt on Thursday‚ according to German outlet BILD.
Julian Nagelsmann has reportedly been told to resign as head coach by German Football Association bosses following their shock World Cup exit. Nagelsmann was summoned to a three-hour meeting at the DFB's headquarters in Frankfurt on Thursday‚ according to German outlet BILD. The 38-year-old was reportedly given the opportunity to explain his views on Germany's elimination to Paraguay‚ having lost 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 draw.
Former Germany captain Lothar Matthaus has claimed team disputes caused by players' wives and girlfriends contributed to their shock World Cup exit. Germany were beaten 4-3 on penalties by Paraguay in the last-32‚ after being held to a 1-1 draw in Boston. Matthaus‚ who captained Germany to World Cup glory in 1990‚ drew the comparison to his experience four years later in the United States.
The pressure on under-fire Julian Nagelsmann after Germany's surprising World Cup exit on Monday told as he snapped at a reporter's line of questioning post-match. Germany were dumped out at last 32 by Paraguay after losing 4-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw after extra-time. The knockout tie wasn't without controversy‚ with Germany's Jonathan Tah having a highly-contentious goal ruled out in extra-time when VAR adjudged a foul on Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill was committed by substitute Waldemar Anton in the lead up.
GERMANY 1-1 PARAGUAY (PARAGUAY WIN 4-3 ON PENS) - RIATH AL-SAMARRAI AT BOSTON STADIUM: For those who want to see Jurgen Klopp back on a touchline in the near future‚ then Germany may have performed at least one good deed at this World Cup. To all other ends‚ they failed dismally. By the time their demise was sealed by Paraguay‚ via Jose Canale's strike at the end of a wild penalty shootout‚ the only mystery was how long Julian Nagelsmann might survive in his post. Would it be hours or days? And will it be Klopp next? He has never hidden his interest and they have never had greater need. Because this was diabolical. This was bleak. This was a powerhouse nation up against a minnow and the minnow won.
