Group D is a European and Asian showdown featuring Portugal — led by Bruno Fernandes and a new generation beyond Ronaldo — alongside the Netherlands, Belgium's experienced Golden Generation, and Japan, who have become one of Asia's most tactically sophisticated sides. Every match in this group pits well-organized, technically gifted teams against each other, with no guaranteed easy points.
