Canada coach Jesse Marsch and his players could be forgiven for feeling a little bored ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup last 16 clash against South Africa in Los Angeles, which you can stream live around the world for free.
The co-hosts only needed a draw against Switzerland to finish top of Group B, but fell 2-1. That means Canada won’t play any more home games, taking some of the shine off their arrival in the World Cup knockout stage for the first time. However, for all the partisan support Vancouver will now miss, the Canucks have a very winnable Round of 16 game against a team that began the tournament ranked 60th to 30th in the FIFA rankings. After scoring eight goals in three group stage matches, Canada will once again turn to Jonathan David and Cyle Larin to advance to the round of 16. The big question, however, is whether captain Alphonso Davies is finally fit to participate in the tournament.
This is South Africa’s second meeting with one of the co-hosts of this World Cup, after losing 2-0 to Mexico in the tournament’s opener on June 11. Bafana Bafana have shown impressive resilience to reach their first knockout stage. After a 1-1 draw with Czechia, Thapelo Maseko’s second-half goal stunned South Korea to seal second place in Group A. Relebohile Mofokeng impressed against South Korea and the 21-year-old gets another chance to shine on the biggest stage.
