Odds ticked down after the upset, no fresh capital backing the run.

Why it matters

Paraguay stunned Germany on penalties to reach the quarterfinals, but the market didn't buy the Cinderella story — outright title odds actually dipped after the upset, with no fresh capital jumping in. If you're following the World Cup underdog arc, this one is worth keeping an eye on; the quarterfinal opponent hasn't been announced yet, and the market is waiting for more to react to.
