Türkiye vs. USA, Paraguay vs. Australia Live World Cup 2026 Updates, Scores and Highlights

Match Results:  Türkiye showed glimpses of what made them a pre-tournament darling in a 3-2 victory over the United States. Although it's a slightly disappointing result, Mauricio Pochettino's side should benefit from resting several key players after winning Group D last Friday.

Australia and Paraguay played out a hard-fought draw, which puts the Socceroos into the knockout stage due to their superior goal difference. While four points should be enough for Paraguay to advance as one of the top eight third-place teams, their goal difference puts them at a disadvantage if most of the third-place teams have the same point total.

Round of 32 Outlook: It has been confirmed that the United States will play Bosnia and Herzegovina, which finished third in Group B. Although this is considered a favorable matchup for the World Cup co-hosts, it's well documented that the third-smallest country at the World Cup can pull off an outrageous upset, having beaten Italy to qualify.

Match Results:

The Netherlands had an easy time in Group F, dispatching Tunisia 3-1 in their final group stage match. It was a Rolls-Royce of a game for the Dutch, netting early in the first half thanks to a Tunisian own goal scored by defender Ellyes Skhiri.

The Dutch would add on to their lead through Brian Brobbey's strike in the 7th minute. After that, while Tunisia did manage to nab a goal back in the 54th minute, it wasn't enough to really shake the table in Group F.

As for Japan and Sweden, the game came down to the wire, with both sides pushing to get a result. Japan would get on the scoresheet first early in the second half with a well-worked goal, which was eventually slotted in by Daizen Madeda. 

The Swedes would fight back in the 62nd minute, with Anthony Elanga getting the equalizer. In the end, Samurai Blue held on, ending the match 1-1.

Match Results: While Germany and Ecuador battled until the end, it was ultimately the South American side that emerged as the victors. 

With Ecuador looking to make it as one of the third-place sides, they nearly fell short offensively, only managing to grind out four total shots with only two on target until deep in the second half. However, with a late push by the attacking substitutions of Kevin Rodriguez and Pervis Estupinan, the Ecuadorians took a late lead thanks to a Gonzalo Plata strike. 

On the flip side, though Curaçao brought the vibes and heart, but unfortunately, their time at the tournament has come to an end, with the Ivory Coast earning a comfortable 2-0 win over the island nation. Two goals from Nicolas Pepe helped steer the Ivorians into the next round. 

Round of 32 Outlook: With Germany sealing the top spot in Group E, they'll take on the third-placed side from either Group A/B/C/D/F.

Though the date and time are confirmed, the opponent has yet to be officially confirmed, but it's looking likely that Germany will take on Paraguay in the Round of 32, depending on the results later today.
