Thanks to the German bros for giving "a national day off" again

Haha, this is too entertaining! On June 30th Beijing time, in the Round of 16 of the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, Paraguay shocked the four-time champions Germany in a penalty shootout, advancing to the Round of 16. This was a major upset, considering Germany is ranked 12th in the world while Paraguay is 37th—a significant gap.

After the match, Paraguay's President Santiago Peña was overjoyed and immediately posted on social media: "Paraguay never gives up! Day off!" (The original even included some profanity like "FERIADO CARAJO," showing just how excited he was). He then officially signed Presidential Decree No. 6280, declaring June 30 (today) a national holiday so that all Paraguayans could celebrate this historic victory.

This is already the second holiday that Germany has "given" South American fans in this World Cup. Earlier in the group stage, Ecuador also pulled off an upset against Germany, and Ecuador's president likewise declared a national holiday. Netizens joked: "The German bros gave South American people another day off!"😂

The match itself was incredibly thrilling. The two teams were tied 1-1 in regular time. During extra time, Germany scored a header, but VAR ruled it out due to a prior foul. The penalty shootout ended 4-3 for Paraguay, winning 5-4 on aggregate to eliminate Germany. Germany has now been knocked out in the Round of 32 for three consecutive World Cups, while Paraguay returns to the Round of 16 after 16 years.

In short, this day is pure celebration for Paraguayans! The president leads the way with a day off, the whole nation parties together, and the joy that football brings is so simple yet pure.

Interestingly, this is already the second national holiday that Germany has brought to South American fans in this World Cup. After Germany was defeated by Ecuador last week, Ecuador's president declared a national holiday on June 26. At that time, in the capital Quito and the largest city Guayaquil, thousands of people took to the streets, squares, and other public spaces, waving flags, honking horns, organizing parades of vehicles, and celebrating with joy.
