New Delhi, June 30 -- Germany, one of the most successful teams in the history of the FIFA World Cup, were knocked out by Paraguay on Tuesday via a penalty shootout as scores were level at 1-1 after the regular match time and extra time.

Germany have reached the final of the FIFA World Cup a record eight times (highest among all teams) and won the tournament on four different occasions, but this time around them going back after the round of 32, that too at the hands of a comparatively much less successful Paraguay, will surely go down as one of the biggest upsets of this tournament.

This is a developing story. Check back later for more updates.
