00:03Tiny Curaçao, the smallest nation ever at a World Cup, made history on Sunday in Houston,
00:09when Livano Cominencia scored the island's very first World Cup goal. But Germany hit
00:14back hard, pouring in six more to seal a dominant 7-1 win. It was the result the
00:20Germans were looking for after crashing out of the group stage at the last two tournaments.
00:28In Philadelphia, Ivory Coast pulled off arguably the tournament's biggest upset so far, returning
00:34to the World Cup for the first time since 2014 and stunning Ecuador with Amad Diallo's 90-minute
00:40winner. That late strike ended Ecuador's 19-game unbeaten run and sent the Ivorians into raptures.
00:48In Arlington, Texas, Japan trailed the Netherlands 2-1 deep into added time
00:54before Daichi Kamada's header in the 88th minute rescued a 2-2 draw. The Samurai Blue fans were sent
01:01into a frenzy, while the Dutch were left stunned, a moment that will define the early stages of this
01:06tournament. In Monterey, Sweden announced their arrival at this World Cup in emphatic style,
01:14cruising to a 5-1 victory over Tunisia. Yasin Ayari opened the scoring with a thunderous right-footed
01:21strike before Alexander Isak doubled the lead and Victor Giocheris added a third after the break.
01:27Despite a brief Tunisia reply, Matthias Svanberg and a second from Ayari in stoppage time completed the
01:34route, sending Sweden to the top of Group F.
