Summary
Six matches on Thursday wrap up World Cup groups D, E and F, with Germany, the United States and the Netherlands chasing first place while several teams fight for the last Round of 32 berths.
Group D is partly settled: the U.S. has already won the group at 6-1 on aggregate and faces eliminated Türkiye, while Paraguay and Australia meet for second place with Australia advancing on a draw.
Group E brings the sharpest pressure on Ecuador, which must beat perfect Germany to stay alive, while Curaçao still has an outside chance to reach the knockout stage against Ivory Coast.
Group F remains tight as Japan and the Netherlands sit on 4 points, Sweden on 3 and Tunisia already out; Japan-Sweden decides one knockout place, and Dutch-Japanese first place could come down to goal difference.
All six games air on FOX or FS1 and stream on FOX One, with kickoffs set for 4 p.m., 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET across U.S. host cities.
