Current Group D Standings
Group D Scenarios
- Australia will advance with a win or draw.
- Paraguay will advance with a win.
- Paraguay can advance with a draw in its final match, but it is not guaranteed.
- Türkiye has been eliminated.
Australia
Australia can lock up second place in Group D with a win or draw against Paraguay. While a loss wouldn't eliminate Australia right away, it would put the Socceroos at risk of being leapfrogged by other potential third place teams, depending on the margin of Paraguay's win and the goal differential of the other third-place teams. A win or draw guarantees Australia a place in the knockout stage.

Paraguay
Paraguay must win to finish second in Group D and secure an automatic berth in the knockout stage. A draw could still be enough for Paraguay to advance, but it depends on the goal differential of the other potential third-place teams. La Albirroja could even advance with a loss, but a goal difference of -3 or worse might make that very difficult.
United States
USA has won Group D, and the only question in its final match is who will be getting the start?
Türkiye
Following losses to Australia and Paraguay, Türkiye was guaranteed a fourth-place finish in Group D and a trip home following the match vs. USA.
