Live updates:

14:40 CET - First up today is a Group F clash between the Netherlands and Sweden that will feature some of the biggest names in football.

Dutch captain Virgil van Dijk and new Tottenham signing Jan Paul van Hecke will have to be at their best to keep the high-profile duo of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres quiet; the two showed just how much damage they can do in their nation's thrashing of Tunisia, in which both got goals and assists.

They'll fancy their chances of adding to their tally today, because while the Netherlands have one of the best backlines at the tournament in terms of personnel, they let in two goals in their draw with Japan and haven't kept a clean sheet in five matches.

That and the fact that key man Frenkie de Jong is at risk of missing out with a minor injury means that it won't be easy for the favourites to get the win they really need.

13:00 CET - Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of day 10 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup!
