Match report: Netherlands vs Japan

At 3 AM on June 15th, the Netherlands and Japan will face off in Group F of the 2026 World Cup at the AT&T Stadium.

Only two teams have a higher World Cup win rate than the Netherlands, but history has yet to name them at the top. Their quest for the prestigious trophy will begin with a promising clash against Japan, a team emerging as one of the "shock-mongering" powerhouses of European football.

Under the guidance of coach Ronald Koeman, the Netherlands are showing remarkable stability. "Oranje" qualified for the World Cup undefeated, winning 6 and drawing 2, scoring 27 goals and conceding only 4. This is a crucial foundation for the Dutch team to confidently head towards the major tournament.

World Cup history is also on the Netherlands' side. They have only lost their opening match in the finals since 1938 and boast a 16-match unbeaten run in the group stage since 1994, the longest streak among current tournament participants. However, the challenge this time is far from simple.

Japan entered the World Cup in incredibly impressive form. As the first team to qualify for the finals, the "Blue Samurai" had won all six of their most recent friendly matches, including notable victories against Brazil with a 3-2 scoreline and England with a 1-0 scoreline.

Despite never having advanced beyond the quarter-finals in their eight World Cup appearances, Japan is demonstrating their ability to spring surprises. At the 2022 World Cup, the Asian team defeated both Germany and Spain in the group stage and remained unbeaten against European opponents in regular time.

Historically, the Netherlands have held the advantage, with Japan never having beaten them in their three previous encounters, including a 0-1 defeat at the 2010 World Cup. However, Japan's current form makes this opening match a real test for the "Oranje".
