Updated: Jun 14, 2026 - 5:20 PM ET
The Netherlands face Japan on Sunday, June 14, at Dallas Stadium in a key Group F matchup, with both sides aiming to stake an early claim to the top spot in the group.
Often regarded as the greatest footballing nation never to win a World Cup, the Netherlands enter the tournament with high expectations and a squad led by captain Virgil van Dijk. Japan, meanwhile, arrives shorthanded after a series of injuries to key players in the lead-up to the tournament.
Despite those setbacks, the Blue Samurai are no strangers to springing surprises on the world stage, having recorded memorable World Cup victories over Colombia, Germany, and Spain in recent tournaments.
Here are the top plays from the Netherlands vs. Japan:
