What's at stake for Japan
Japan returns to Arlington for a second time after facing the Netherlands at Dallas Stadium for their first match of the tournament, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Japan could finish first in Group F with a win on Thursday, depending on how the match between the Netherlands and Tunisia plays out.
A draw would clinch Japan a spot in the knockout stage with 5 points in group play, with the possibility of winning the group or finishing second.
Japan is still virtually guaranteed to advance to the knockout stage with a loss, which would likely leave them in third place in the group.
What's at stake for Sweden
Thursday's game will be the first at Dallas Stadium for Sweden but they are familiar with North Texas, having their base camp in Frisco at Toyota Stadium.
With a victory on Thursday, Sweden would win Group F if Tunisia upsets the Netherlands; otherwise Sweden would finish in second place.
Sweden is guaranteed to advance as a third-place finisher with a draw. A loss would still most likely send them to the knockout stage, absent an extremely lopsided goal differential.
