World Cup 2026 — Group F

World Cup 2026 Group F features a Netherlands side that looks built to go deep in this tournament. The Dutch — with one of the strongest squads in the competition — are heavy favorites. Japan are the group's most dangerous threat. The Samurai Blue have made a habit of shocking European sides and arrive with Takefusa Kubo, Kaoru Mitoma, and Wataru Endo representing genuine top-flight quality. Sweden's Viktor Gyökeres finished as one of Europe's top scorers at Arsenal — a center-forward capable of single-handedly changing a match. Tunisia are the group's most organized defensive side and could snatch points from anyone on the right day. Netherlands should advance comfortably. Japan vs Sweden is the match that decides second place — and the team that tops this group may benefit from a kinder knockout path.
