USA Tops Group D as Netherlands and Japan Battle On
The USA National Team secured the top position in Group D of the World Cup with a victory over Paraguay, achieving this with a game to spare. Coach Mauricio Pochettino is cautious about resting key players like Christian Pulisic, who has been limited to just 45 minutes due to a calf injury.
The Netherlands faces Japan in a crucial match, both teams having four points and aiming for the knockout stage. The Dutch will play against Tunisia, who recently sacked their coach after a poor performance.
Australia is looking to maintain its momentum against Turkey, who have already been eliminated. Meanwhile, South Africa achieved a historic 1-0 victory over South Korea, marking their first qualification to the knockout stage in World Cup history, celebrated by fans in Soweto.
