Group F Standings & Scenarios
Tunisia has already been mathematically eliminated from the World Cup.
If the Netherlands win qualification is guaranteed. Victory moves them to 7 points and safely into the Round of 32.
If Japan draws or loses to Sweden, the Netherlands win the group. If Japan also wins, the top spot comes down to goal difference, then goals scored. Because the Dutch currently lead Japan by a single goal scored (7 vs 6), racking up goals against Tunisia is their best bet to lock down 1st place.
If the Netherlands draw, qualification is also guaranteed. A draw puts them on 5 points, locking down a top-two finish. Finishing first in this scenario will depend on Sweden beating Japan. If Japan also draws, the Netherlands will likely still finish 1st, provided Japan doesn't outscore them in their respective tie (e.g., if the Netherlands draw 0-0 and Japan draws 2-2, Japan takes 1st on goals scored).
If the Netherlands lose, qualification is still highly probable, but reliant on the other match. If Japan wins or draws against Sweden, the Netherlands will still finish 2nd and advance.
If Tunisia pulls off a shock win and Sweden defeats Japan, a three-way tie emerges with the Netherlands, Japan, and Sweden all sitting on 4 points. Goal difference will decide 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Thanks to the Netherlands' strong +4 GD, they would almost certainly still advance to the Round of 32, either as runners-up or as one of the 8 best 3rd-placed teams.

Tunisia vs Netherland Match Preview
Tunisia and the Netherlands meet in their final Group F fixture at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Thursday, June 25, with the two sides heading into the match in vastly different circumstances.
Ronald Koeman's Netherlands arrive in Kansas City with real momentum. Their 5-1 demolition of Sweden in Houston was a statement performance, with Cody Gakpo pulling the strings and Denzel Dumfries terrorising the Swedish defence with his overlapping runs. Confidence is high within the Oranje camp, and they need only avoid a heavy defeat to secure top spot in Group F.
Tunisia, by contrast, have already been eliminated. Back-to-back defeats — a 5-1 loss to Sweden and a 4-0 reverse against Japan — ended their tournament hopes at the group stage for a seventh successive time. The Eagles of Carthage also parted ways with coach Sabri Lamouchi after the Sweden defeat, with Hervé Renard stepping in to take charge for the remainder of their campaign.
With nothing to play for in the standings, Renard will likely set his side up to be compact and hard to break down, hoping to restore some dignity after a bruising group stage. Tunisia's captain Ellyes Skhiri and creative midfielder Hannibal Mejbri will be tasked with providing a spark going forward.
For the Dutch, this is an opportunity to build rhythm ahead of the knockout rounds. Virgil van Dijk leads a settled defensive unit, while Frenkie de Jong controls the tempo from midfield. The forward line, spearheaded by Gakpo and Brian Brobbey, will be eager to add to what has already been a prolific group stage.
The gap in form and motivation between these two sides is stark. Netherlands will be expected to win comfortably, though Renard's organisational qualities could make life more difficult than the scorelines suggest.
Here is everything you need to know about where to watch Tunisia vs Netherlands, including TV channel, live stream, and kick-off time.

Tunisia arrive at this fixture in poor form, having lost four of their last five matches. Their most recent outing was a 4-0 World Cup defeat to Japan on June 20, following a 5-1 loss to Sweden in their tournament opener on June 15. A 5-0 friendly defeat to Belgium on June 6 and a 1-0 loss to Austria on June 1 complete a difficult run, with only a goalless draw against Canada offering any respite. Tunisia have scored just one goal while conceding 15 across those five matches.
The Netherlands have won two of their last five, drawing two and losing one. Their most recent result was a commanding 5-1 World Cup victory over Sweden on June 20, following a 2-2 draw with Japan in their group opener on June 14. Before the tournament, they beat Uzbekistan 2-1 in a friendly on June 8 and lost 1-0 to Algeria on June 3. A 1-1 draw with Ecuador rounds out the five-match run. The Dutch have scored 11 goals and conceded six across those fixtures.
