Results and (non-ordered) standings after Matchday 2
Can only do 1 game at a time for this - so we kick off Matchday 3 in Group D with Turkiye v United States. Both teams sit on 4 points, so should be assured of at least a 3rd place in the group. A win for either side will see them top the group. A draw in this match (coupled with an Australia victory over Paraguay) will mean a 3 way tie at the top of Group D.
It's Australia's final group game - and it's do or die for both sides, as Australia faces off with Paraguay in San Francisco
Whilst the Socceroos don't know this at the time of kick-off, Turkiye's victory over USA has confirmed them as Group D winners. For Australia to guarantee advancing to the Round of 32, they must defeat Paraguay - who also needs to win to have a sniff of advancing as third place.
For the Socceroos, a victory will guarantee them second (although being played at the same time as the match above, means they could have theoretically still won the group), draw will see them finish third behind USA, and likely advance to the Round of 32, whereas a loss means elimination from the FIFA World Cup
