Germany vs Paraguay Highlights, FIFA World Cup 2026 Match LIVE Updates: Orlando Gill made two massive saves as Paraguay pulled off a stunning win over Germany on penalties during their FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 clash.
Deniz Undav, one of the surprise stars of this World Cup, is playing for powerhouse Germany. Yet with his Yazidi and Kurdish heritage, the 29-year-old striker is representing two communities on the global stage with no realistic chance of having World Cup teams of their own.
The German camp has different reasons behind the 1-2 defeat against Ecuador in FIFA World Cup 2026.
Deniz Undav has three goals and two assists in 69 minutes at the World Cup, averaging a goal contribution every 13.8 minutes for a rate topping Lionel Messi (37.4), Kylian Mbappé (48.8) and Erling Haaland (51.2).
Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann left Deniz Undav, the team's most prolific attacker so far, on the bench for the first two games in the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Germany had not advanced from the group stage since winning the 2014 tournament in Brazil, and coach Julian Nagelsmann had been under huge pressure to make that breakthrough.
