Japan, United States, Cameroon, Australia and Switzerland all reached the round of 16 in Canada.
Australia and the United States progressed from the Women's World Cup's group of death on Tuesday, while Cameroon edged out Switzerland with a comeback.
USA defeated Nigeria 1-0 to top Group D, while Australia held on for a 1-1 draw with Sweden to finish second and automatically progress to the round of 16.
Captain Lisa De Vanna scored the critical goal for Australia, latching onto a long ball in the fifth minute before finishing calmly past Sweden goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl, who inexplicably stayed on her line.
