Germany have crashed out of the football festival in North America. 

This, after the four-time champions were beaten 4-3 by Paraguay in a sudden death penalty shootout in the last-32. 

The match finished 1-1 at the end of extra-time.

This is also the first time in the tournament’s history that Germany has ever lost a penalty shootout.

Paraguay, meanwhile, now await the winners of the other last-32 tie between France and Sweden.
