The 2026 World Cup knockout stage continues to take shape, with Thursday’s Group F finales setting up a pair of standout matchups in the round of 32.
The Netherlands dominated Tunisia en route to a 3-1 win in Kansas City, securing the group’s top spot and booking an enticing meeting with Group C runner-up Morocco next week.
Japan and Sweden drew 1-1 in Texas, a result that helped the Samurai Blue move on as Group F’s second-place finisher. They will face Group C winner Brazil on Monday.
Sweden, secure as one of the eight best third-place teams, will also play in the round of 32 versus a group winner that has yet to be determined.
