Party time for penalty kings Paraguay

PARAGUAY coach Gerardo Martino revealed his side were in party mood following their historic victory over Japan last night, although he admitted the full impact of their success has not yet sunk in.

Paraguay progressed to the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time after beating Japan 5-3 on penalties following a goalless draw in Pretoria.
