Follow Daily Mail Sport's live coverage of the latest updates as Japan take on Sweden and Tunisia face the Netherlands in the final round of Group F matches.'Comfortable for the Dutch'Stephen Warnock, former England defender, on BBC Two:It was a comfortable victory for the Dutch, very professional. Koeman set out his stall very early, made only one change to his team. They were tested early and then they turned on the style. They scored a few goals and that allowed them to dominate.Dutch delightWell, I think they are happy.Going by the way that Denzel Dumfries and Teun Koopmeiners are chatting after the final whistle, you wouldn't be able to tell, though. They almost look like they are arguing.That's almost a good sign, weirdly. It shows the standards this Dutch side has set for itself, and the fact that the players can be open to each other, like that, can only be positive.After that win, you have to say that the Netherlands are slowly becoming one of the favourites in this World Cup.Put it this way, I wouldn't want to face them if I was another team.FULL-TIME: Japan 1-1 SwedenNot a game that will live long in the memory that.Still, both sides are through. But they face tough tests in the last-32, with Japan to face Brazil, and Sweden to take on France.Japan actually beat Brazil, but they will need to be better than tonight.OFF THE BAR! Japan 1-1 SwedenOff the bar! Ayari finally puts a good ball into the box, and Isak gets his head on it at the near post.Suzuki actually gets a great right hand on it, and palms it onto the bar. Almost a winner!FULL-TIME: Tunisia 1-3 Netherlands
