===Ranking of third-placed teams===
The four best third-placed teams from the six groups advanced to the next stage along with the six group winners and six runners-up. The ranking of the third-placed teams were determined by the "rules for classification" listed below the table (that is, ranked by columns Pts, GD, and GF in sequence; then by drawing lots).
 	 	Team 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
1	C	Japan 	3	1	1	1	5	3 	+2 	4
2	A	Canada 	3	1	1	1	2	2 	0 	4
3	E	South Korea	3	1	0	2	4	4 	0 	3
4	D	Nigeria 	3	1	0	2	3	5 	−2 	3
5	F	England 	3	1	0	2	3	6 	−3 	3
6	B	Thailand 	3	0	1	2	2	12	−10	1
In the next stage the four third-placed teams were matched with the winners of groups A, B, C and D according to a table published in Section 28 of the tournament regulations.
==Knockout Stage==
The knockout stage comprises the 16 teams that advanced from the group stage of the tournament. There are four rounds of matches, with each round eliminating half of the teams entering that round. The successive rounds are the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final. There is also a match to decide third and fourth place. For each game in the knockout stage, any draw at 90 minutes is followed by 30 minutes of extra time; if scores are still level, there is a penalty shootout to determine who progresses to the next round. Single yellow cards accrued will be cancelled after the quarter-finals, therefore ensuring that no players miss the Final because of receiving a caution in the semi-finals.
;Combinations of matches in the Round of 16
