14:00 - ARG 0 - 2 NED

Although quite a balanced game throughout, it was the dutch team who were able to make the kost of their opportunities in front of goal, scoring twice to secure the win. 

16:15 - USA 0 - 2 IRI

A strong performance from Team USA against the favourites in Group B. Although USA battled hard with an impressive game, the Persians managed to find the net twice to take the win.

19:00 - IRL 1 - 6 BRA

Supported by a full stadium and a fantastic crowd, the Brazilians felt right at home taking the lead quite early on to take hold of the game. Brazil continued to find the goal, but a briliant goal from the Irish team showed they still had plenty of fight and determination for the competiton.
