With the 2026 FIFA World Cup group games now in the history books, all eyes are on the knockout stages. First up is South Africa vs. Canada in the Round of 32.
It's been a hugely eventful tournament for Canada. They picked up their first-ever World Cup point with a draw in the opener, then scored their first-ever World Cup win when they defeated Qatar 6-0. As co-hosts, they have big momentum despite taking a loss to Switzerland in the final group game.
South Africa, on the other hand, seemed unlikely to reach this point after losing their opener and having two players red-carded. But a subsequent draw and a win have got them to the knockout rounds.
