Paraguay Stun Germany at World Cup, Triggering National Holiday Celebration

Paraguay has declared a national holiday to celebrate its historic World Cup victory over Germany. The South American side stunned the four-time world champions 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw following extra time. President Santiago Pena announced the holiday, saying the team's victory represents the country's "grit, faith, and strength". The decree stated that the government cannot remain indifferent to this achievement, and a nationwide celebration is necessary. This is the second time a South American country has declared a holiday after a surprise World Cup result against Germany, following Ecuador's similar move last week after beating the Germans 2-1 to reach the knockout stage.
