And for any Scotland fans with us this evening...
Opta's Supercomputer has predicted a 6.89% chance of Steve Clarke's side reaching the last 32.
It's not looking good, is it?
After the conclusion of Group F, there have now been 172 goals at the 2026 World Cup, as many as there were in the 2022 World Cup, which to date was the World Cup with the most goals.

Netherlands are my favorites to win the World Cup. I know that's an unpopular opinion but they have strong team with no particular star player and a coach that knows his onions. Also Brobbey for the Golden boot!!???

FT: Tunisia 1-3 Netherlands
Netherlands are now unbeaten in 15 matches at the World Cup (W9 D5) - the longest ever run by any side (excl. penalty shootout losses).
This century, their only two defeats in 25 matches have been against Portugal in the last 16 in 2006 (0-1) and the 2010 final against Spain (0-1).
Is this the year they finally get their hands on the trophy?

With the Netherlands having booked their spot in the last 32, and Tunisia's exit having been confirmed following their 4-0 defeat by Japan, the only thing on the line in Kansas City was whether the Dutch would top the group.
They did so with ease and were rarely tested to any significant extent, although Anis Ben Slimane led a handful of counter-attacks.
There were concerns about whether the game would begin on time following a weather warning, but it was cleared before kick-off and the teams instead had to deal with playing through spells of torrential rain.
The Netherlands racked up efforts and managed 20 shots, 12 of which came in the first half alone, as they sealed first place.
For Tunisia, this result brings an end to a calamitous World Cup, in which they sacked their manager after losing 5-1 to Sweden in their opening match.
This was probably their best performance of the tournament - but the Netherlands could have scored more were it not for some solid defending, especially from Skhiri, with the gulf in class was still blindingly clear.

You look at the front three of Sweden - £240m worth. They didn't affect the game as much as the Japanese front three.
You can see with Japan's front three there are shot combinations and a willingness to run in behind. I didn't see that as much with the Sweden front three.

Steph Houghton

Both teams will be happy. It wasn't the greatest of games. I think 1-1 was a fair result and Sweden will be happy to go through and of course Japan as well in the second place.

Just look what it means to Sweden.

Sweden have finished 3rd and have no guarantee of who they face but Japan will face Brazil. Have Sweden possibly got a better outcome finishing 3rd rather than 2nd?

So, as things stand...
This is who those from Group F will face in the round of 32:
Brazil v Japan - Monday 29 June
Netherlands v Morocco - Tuesday 30 June
France v Sweden - Tuesday 30 June
*Fixtures in bold are confirmed
FT: Japan 1-1 Sweden
What a contrast of images at the full-time whistle.
Sweden boss Graham Potter and his coaching staff embrace and celebrate a result that secures them a last 32 spot as one of the eight best third-place sides.
Meanwhile, Sweden winger Anthony Elanga pounds the turf and looks less than pleased. He wanted to win that.

Stephen Warnock
Former England defender on BBC Two at Kansas City Stadium
It was a comfortable victory for the Dutch, very professional. Koeman set out his stall very early, made only one change to his team. They were tested early and then they turned on the style. They scored a few goals and that allowed them to dominate.
No one will want to face them because of the quality of the players that they have got. They will certainly be a force to be reckoned with.
Japan 1-1 Sweden
Japan see out the draw!
Sweden offered little until they drew level, and from that point they pushed for a winner.
But Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki ensures his side win the race to finish second in Group F.
Their reward - if you can call it that - is a last 32 clash with Brazil.

I don't think Brazil will be relishing facing this Japan team.
Tunisia 1-3 Netherlands
Job done.
The Netherlands are victorious at the Kansas City Stadium and top Group F. They will face Morocco in Monterrey in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
For Tunisia, meanwhile, their dismal World Cup campaign comes to an end. They finish the group stage with zero points, two goals scored and 12 conceded. Yikes.

Anthony Elanga getting a shot in and a smart save. Elanga is unlucky.
Sweden are now the team pushing Japan back. Lucas Bergvall has become more prominent as this game has gone on.
Can Sweden find a winner? It would change everything.
Japan 1-1 Sweden
Zion Suzuki to the rescue again!
Alexander Isak flicks a header from a corner at the near post, but the Japan goalkeeper sticks up a hand to make a fine stop before he catches at the second attempt.
Japan are holding on.

Anthony Elanga almost gets his and Sweden's second goal, but Zion Suzuki shows quick reactions to push away his effort towards the far corner.

Graham Potter's Sweden into last 32 after sealing one of best third-place spots; Japan through in second and will face Brazil
Anthony Elanga scored a second-half stunner to secure a last-32 spot for Sweden as they came from behind to earn a point against Japan.
Graham Potter's side sit on four points - in third place in Group F - which will be enough to send them through, where they will play one of France, Norway, Germany or Switzerland.
Japan finish second behind the Netherlands - who comfortably beat Tunisia - and will face five-time World Cup winners Brazil in the last 32.
Celtic's Daizen Maeda put Japan into the lead in the 56th minute following a lovely move, with Ayase Ueda and Ritsu Doan playing a one-two before the latter teed up the goalscorer.
The first half had been quiet, with both teams seemingly content with a goalless draw as the game lacked energy.
But that changed after the break and, within six minutes of Japan's goal, Elanga levelled the game for Sweden.
The Newcastle United winger - making his first start of this World Cup - stepped in from the left before firing a powerful strike from the angle of the box past Japan keeper Zion Suzuki, who appeared to see the ball late and could not keep it out.
The pace in the game fizzled out somewhat following the second-half hydration break but Elanga and Alexander Isak did force two good saves from Suzuki in stoppage time as Japan held on to their second place in the group.
'That's come out of nowhere' - Elanga's stunning curler brings Sweden level
After being thrashed 5-1 by the Netherlands in their second group game, it was far from a straightforward task for Sweden to get a point against an impressive and hard-working Japan side.
Potter had to pick Sweden up after they finished bottom of their group in a nightmare qualifying campaign yet navigated their way to this tournament through the play-offs, thanks to their Nations League ranking.
Here he managed to not only lift them, after that calamity against the Dutch, but also when they went behind on the night - as defeat would have left them sweating on their progression.
It did take a moment of magic from Elanga, who was visibly frustrated at full-time for not finding a winner, but Sweden showed resilience to respond in this game and Potter has achieved what was surely the minimum objective for them in reaching the knockout stages.
They will need to be more defensively resilient than they were against the Netherlands if they face France in the last 32, of course.
Yet if Potter can find a way to ensure Viktor Gyokeres, Isak and Elanga are still a threat - while keeping it tight at the back - they cannot be ruled out.
Japan will face Group C winners Brazil on Monday at 18:00 BST in Houston Stadium.
Sweden's last-32 opponents are not yet known, but as it stands they will play France on Tuesday at 22:00.
