- The first two matches of the knockout stage of the World Cup took place on this day. The United States' run came to an end at the hands of the Netherlands 3-1. Argentina had to sweat it late, but held on to beat Australia 2-1.
- Four unique players were selected for the Dutch while only Tyler Adams represented for the USA in the Challenge.
- No Australians were taken on the day and Alexis Mac Allister was the only double up for La Albiceleste.
- One goal was scored by selections in each game, one for the good and one for the bad. Memphis Depay slotted home Holland's first goal inside of 10 minutes while Enzo Fernandez caused that aforementioned sweating with an own goal 13 minutes from time.
- Optimally, Daley Blind turned back the clock with a 9.0 rating against the US. He had a goal, an assist, and seven tackles in the Netherlands' passage to the quarterfinals.
