KANSAS CITY, Missouri, June 25 : The Netherlands wrapped up top spot in World Cup Group F with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Tunisia on Thursday, capitalising on another error-strewn display from opponents whose calamitous tournament came to a fitting end.
DALLAS, June 25 : Japan held on to draw 1-1 with Sweden in their World Cup match on Thursday to finish runners-up in Group F and book a meeting in the knockout stage with five-times champions Brazil after an Anthony Elanga strike cancelled out Daizen Maeda's opener.

TEXAS, USA: No, a storm didn’t roll through Sweden’s base camp at the World Cup. It’s just a home renovation. The Swedes were taken by surprise seeing mangled metal and other demolished construction material on one side of Toyota Stadium — the home of MLS team FC Dallas — during their training session Wednesday night. “I just thought, ‘what happened?’ As far as I knew there hadn’t been any storm,” Sweden midfielder Besfort Zeneli told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. That scheduled work, done earlier in the day before Sweden’s session, is part of a years-long renovation project at the stadium. That area has been blocked off since before Sweden started using the stadium as their base camp after arriving in the United States in early June. The construction has had no impact on the pitch or any facilities being used by the team in Frisco, Texas, about 30 miles north of downtown Dallas. Still, that very visible demolition from the latest work caught some players by surprise when they arrived for training ahead of their final Group F match against Japan. FC Dallas said in a statement Thursday that the work “was part of a planned and controlled demolition within an active construction zone.
TUNIS: Tunisia’s humiliating exit from the 2026 World Cup after two heavy losses against Sweden and Japan delt a blow to Eagles of Carthage fans, who say it laid bare years of dysfunction within the football federation. The team, which had made history in 1978 by becoming the first African nation to win a World Cup match, had hoped for a better tournament this summer. But with nine goals conceded in two games and French head coach Sabri Lamouchi sacked after the first — a 5-1 defeat to Sweden — many Tunisians were faced with a different reality. Beyond player performances, they blame a deeply flawed national sporting system. “The collapse of the national team against Sweden and Japan has lifted the veil on the ‘football mafia’ whose dismantling everyone is demanding today, before starting from scratch and rebuilding our football,” the Arabic-language daily AlChourouk wrote. The French-language newspaper Le Temps argued that Tunisian football “has for many years been undermined by clientelism and inter-club infighting.” That has led to undeserving players being selected for the national team, the newspaper added. Investigative outlet Inkyfada alleged that there was an “unofficial quota policy” that saw some local players called up only “to satisfy major clubs in the domestic league and ensure that each received their share of FIFA compensation.” The Tunisian football federation did not respond to AFP’s requests for comment. Things could get even worse for Tunisia’s chastened players, whose last match on Thursday night is against Group F leaders the Netherlands, before they return home. And back home, the World Cup has not generated great enthusiasm. The team’s early elimination, compounded by their matches kicking off in
