FIFA World Cup 2026 | Fans React After Japan's 4-0 World Cup Win Against Tunisia In Mexico

Japan moved one step closer to reaching the knockout stages of the World Cup for the fourth consecutive time on Saturday, after pummelling Tunisia 4-0 in Group F. Japan’s four goals were the most the Samurai Blue had ever scored in a World Cup game, as it comfortably dismantled a Tunisia side that became the first to ever fire its coach after the opening game. Ayase Ueda scored twice, along with Daichi Kamada and Junya Itō to put Japan level with the Netherlands on four points. "Ayase Ueda is a god," said a delighted fan after the match in Monterrey, Mexico. The Dutch are currently on top the group due to having scored one more goal than Japan across its two matches. The loss for Tunisia means it is eliminated from the tournament. Japan are guaranteed at least third in the group, which could be enough to advance to the knockout stages. Japan, who have not lost to a European opponent in 90 minutes since 2019, will play against Sweden in Dallas on Thursday. Tunisia will play the Netherlands in Kansas City at the same time.
