WC PROGNOSTICATION: Germany v Paraguay. Netherlands v Morocco. Monday. Will either game go extra time?

Both Round of 32 matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup went to extra time on Monday, June 29. Paraguay eliminated four-time champion Germany 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw through 120 minutes, while Morocco beat the Netherlands 3-2 on penalties, also after a 1-1 draw following extra time. In Germany-Paraguay, Julio Enciso headed Paraguay ahead in the 42nd minute before Kai Havertz equalized for Germany with a header from Florian Wirtz's cross in the second half. A Jonathan Tah goal was disallowed on VAR review for a foul on Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill, sending the match to penalties, where Gill saved attempts from Havertz and Nick Woltemade and Tah skied his kick, allowing Jose Canale to convert the winner. It marked Germany's first-ever World Cup penalty-shootout defeat. In Netherlands-Morocco, Cody Gakpo put the Dutch ahead in the 72nd minute, but Issa Diop equalized for Morocco in first-minute stoppage time. Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou saved Crysencio Summerville's spot kick, and Ismael Saibari scored the decisive penalty for a 3-2 shootout win, sending Morocco to a last-16 meeting with Canada. Since both matches independently went to extra time, the outcome resolved yes with certainty. The community vote of 47% yes was roughly a coin flip and, in hindsight, understated the likelihood given that both games ultimately required extra time and penalties.
