The teams from the different nations were ready for another round after a week of competition, just as the United States was prepared for its match against Argentina. Additionally, they ranked last week's matchup between Ghana and New Zealand as the best matchup they had ever seen. The Indian team, who finished fifth in the previous competition, stood in the way of the Ghanaian team as they prepared for their upcoming opponent. Additionally, the Japanese team—which featured the final member of the Kado Generation and demonstrated an enormous battle the previous week—was the team that everyone was anticipating. They would be competing against Turkey this week because all the other nations had been paired with their adversaries. As the teams were getting ready for their matches, South Africa and Italy, the second-place finishers, were paired against each other.
