NB: the matches on 6 Aug were the only ones from the "New Zealand" half of the schedule
(groups A, C, E, G and the knock-out matches between the winners and runners-up of
those groups) to be played in Australia, implying the Netherlands and Sweden had to
change countries twice between the group stage and the quarterfinals; the rationale
behind this (if any) is unclear.
