Atlanta Soccer Tonight, 6.29 FULL SHOW | "Today We Got a Polca", Paraguay Stuns Germany on a Day That Belonged to the World Cup

from Off the Woodwork

Paraguay knocked out Germany on penalties in one of the great upsets in World Cup history, and the day was just getting started. Brazil came from behind in stoppage time to beat Japan in Houston. The Netherlands and Morocco went the distance in Monterrey. And in the middle of it all, Paraguay's president declared a national holiday and Gustavo Alfaro gave one of the great manager press conferences of this generation. Jason Longshore breaks down the historic upset and the human stories behind it, from Orlando Gill's two penalty saves and his rise from selling national team jerseys four years ago, to Gustavo Gómez calling Germany's task "sweating blood," to Alfaro's now famous line about Paraguay finally getting to dance their own music. Carlo Ancelotti gave the quote of the World Cup so far on respecting the opponent after Brazil's comeback win, and Cody Gakpo scored for the Netherlands days after the loss of his unborn son, in a moment that made the game feel secondary. Wednesday brings the World Cup to Atlanta with England and DR Congo in the round of 32, and the United States face Bosnia and Herzegovina in Santa Clara. Plus a look ahead to Argentina vs Cape Verde in Miami on Friday, with Atlanta potentially hosting Messi the following Tuesday. Robert Lewandowski lands in MLS with the Chicago Fire, the FIFA Technical Study Group celebrates a faster World Cup, and the conversation continues on Stoppage Time. Atlanta Soccer Tonight is presented by Ford and Michelob Ultra, the official beer sponsor of FIFA World Cup 26.
