Brazil didn't look like Brazil. Morocco didn't care. Scotland did Scotland things.

Who won yesterday's World Cup games?

Day 3 gave us four games and roughly seventeen feelings. Let's work through them.

Qatar 1, Switzerland 1 — Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara

Switzerland scored in the 17th minute on a Breel Embolo penalty after a handball call, and then proceeded to do what Switzerland always does: play clean, controlled, utterly watchable soccer and forget to score a second goal. For 77 minutes that was fine. Then, in the 94th minute, Qatar captain Boualem Khoukhi headed in a late ball to equalize and earn Qatar their first point in World Cup history. Switzerland has been playing in World Cups since 1934 and still managed to get caught sleeping. Qatar is the co-host nation that got eliminated in the group stage at their own 2022 tournament. This draw was the soccer equivalent of the kicker making a 57-yarder on the last play when the game was already over. You didn't see it coming. Neither did Switzerland.

Brazil 1, Morocco 1 — MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ

80,663 people showed up expecting a coronation. Morocco had other plans. Ismael Saibari put Morocco ahead in the 21st minute and MetLife went briefly silent in the way stadiums do when something confusing happens. Then Viniúcius Jr. did the Viniúcius Jr. thing: exchanged passes with Bruno Guimarães on the left flank, made space where no space existed, and rifled a right-footed shot past Yassine Bounou to equalize in the 32nd minute. Brazil pressed for a winner all half. Morocco pressed for a winner all second half. The scoreboard didn't care. Final: 1-1. Brazil is the most famous team in soccer history and they needed a comeback to tie a team most Americans couldn't have found on a map in 2021. Think of it this way: it's like the Cowboys showing up to their opener and needing a fourth-quarter drive just to tie a team you've never heard of. Great! But also: uh oh.

Haiti 0, Scotland 1 — Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA

John McGinn scored in the 28th minute off a deflected shot that had about three different lucky bounces before it went in, and Scotland held on to win 1-0 for their first World Cup victory since 1990. The Tartan Army was approximately losing their minds at Gillette Stadium, which is now the second-most chaotic fanbase experience that stadium has ever hosted (Patriots Super Bowl runs still hold the record). Scotland now leads Group C with 3 points. Brazil and Morocco are at 1 each. Haiti has 0. The team that was supposed to be an afterthought is currently running the group. Scotland did Scotland things, and somehow Scotland things worked.

Australia 2, Turkey 0 — Midnight nightcap (already done)

In case you went to bed early: Nestory Irankunda scored in the 27th minute, Connor Metcalfe added a second in the 75th, and Australia took down Turkey 2-0 in the game nobody watched live but everyone woke up to. Australia came in with zero expectations from the casual fan. Turkey came in as a team that reached the 2002 semifinal and has been dining on that reputation for 24 years. Australia did not care about the tab.

Who plays today? (June 14, 2026)

Four matches left today. The slate gets serious by 4 p.m.

Germany vs. Curaçao — 1 p.m. ET on Fox and Telemundo. NRG Stadium, Houston. Germany is one of the favorites to win this whole tournament. Curaçao is a Caribbean island of 150,000 people making their World Cup debut. This is the appetizer before the real food arrives. Still watch it. Germany's attack is worth seeing even when they're not fully extended.

Netherlands vs. Japan — 4 p.m. ET on Fox and Telemundo. AT&T Stadium, Dallas. The must-watch game. Full preview below.

Ivory Coast vs. Ecuador — 7 p.m. ET on FS1 and Telemundo. Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia. Two teams with serious upset potential in their group. Ivory Coast carries generational talent. Ecuador plays with the kind of intensity that makes you forget you don't know any of their names. This one could go anywhere.

Sweden vs. Tunisia — 10 p.m. ET on FS1 and Telemundo. Estadio BBVA, Monterrey. Sweden is methodical. Tunisia is disciplined. This is the late-night game you tell yourself you'll skip and then suddenly you're watching at midnight and have to be up at 6.

What's the must-watch game today?

Netherlands vs. Japan at 4 p.m. ET on Fox. Nothing else comes close.

The Netherlands is the team that invents offensive schemes and then eventually lets other countries copy them. Think of them as the Andy Reid of international soccer: beautiful ideas, deep roster, perennial championship-or-bust expectations. Cody Gakpo (Liverpool) is a legitimate superstar who makes one-on-one situations uncomfortable for defenders. Virgil van Dijk at center back is the kind of presence that makes opposing forwards reconsider career choices. The Dutch attack runs through quick combinations and an insistence on dominating possession until the other team gives up.

Japan is the most dangerous team in Asia and the team that most casual fans dramatically underestimate until it is too late. They press high and relentlessly, they win second balls, and they do not panic when down. Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton) is a winger who plays like he was born moving sideways at full speed. Wataru Endo (Liverpool) anchors the midfield and disrupts every rhythm you thought you had. Japan's whole game plan is to make you rush, and rushing against an organized defensive block is how you waste a two-hour afternoon.

NFL analogy: Netherlands is the ’24 Eagles, technical and physical and loaded at every level, expected to go deep. Japan is the ’23 Lions: a team that plays with controlled chaos, press-happy, turnover-hunting, and fully capable of ending your tournament if you blink. Netherlands probably wins. Japan definitely didn't fly across the Pacific to lose politely. We're going to break this one down before kickoff on the Game Day School YouTube channel.
