Team Profiles
The Oranje are perennial World Cup entertainers with three finals appearances but no title. Van Dijk marshals the defence while a new generation of Dutch creativity emerges through Simons and Gravenberch.
Japan's golden generation features players across Europe's elite leagues. After beating Germany and Spain in 2022, the Samurai Blue believe they can finally reach the quarter-finals. Their pressing and technical quality make them a nightmare opponent.
Sweden won Path B beating Poland 3-2 in dramatic fashion, with Viktor Gyokeres scoring the 88th-minute winner. Their first World Cup since 2018, Gyokeres leads a side capable of surprising anyone.
Tunisia's Eagles of Carthage are North Africa's pride, combining defensive solidity with technical midfield play. Young talent Hannibal Mejbri represents the future alongside experienced campaigners.

Qualification Scenarios
The top 2 teams in Group F advance directly to the Round of 32. Additionally, the 8 best third-placed teams (from 12 groups) also qualify. This means a team could advance with as few as 3 points, or miss out with 4 — goal difference and head-to-head records become crucial tiebreakers.
