Massachusetts. Paraguay's players have turned themselves into football legends by defeating Germany in the World Cup ​on Monday, coach Gustavo Alfaro said.

"We never believe that we ‌are beaten," Alfaro told reporters after his team's penalty shootout victory. "Twenty-six warriors went out there and they came back as legends."

The Argentine coach had come under criticism after Paraguay lost ​their opener 4-1 to co-hosts the United States, and scored only ​one more goal in their other two group matches.
