Tunisia up next as Japan ride the momentum from Netherlands draw

Tunisia awaits on Saturday, with a referee in a special jersey

Your team faces Tunisia in the 2026 World Cup on Saturday, June 20 (1). The match will have an unusual detail: Romanian referee István Kovács will wear a custom-designed jersey, part of a first for the tournament (1). Three points here and Japan's knockout hopes look real.

The Netherlands draw still echoing

Japan 2–2 Netherlands. Daichi Kamada's late equalizer is the kind of goal that shifts how the world sees Asian football (2). Your team forced Ronald Koeman into defensive changes, and the Dutch press could not stop talking about it (2). Virgil van Dijk later complained about the new drink breaks, but the real story is simpler, Japan went toe-to-toe with a European giant and walked away with a point (2).
