Co-hosts Canada face Switzerland in Vancouver knowing they will finish top of Group B at the 2026 FIFA World Cup if they avoid defeat – and you can live stream the game around the world for free.
It’s not often that a 6-0 win can leave you feeling a little hollow, but you could forgive Canada’s staff and players for being a little flat after their thrashing of Qatar after the game was overshadowed by a serious leg injury to midfielder Ismael Kone. The incident left manager Jesse Marsch in tears and emotions continued to run high as substitute Nathan Saliba, who came on for Kone, scored the hosts’ fourth and held up his team-mate’s shirt in tribute. Marsch and his players will need to refocus quickly when they return to BC Place. Their reward for avoiding defeat will not only be top spot in Group B, but also a last-32 match here in Vancouver.
After a frustrating 1-1 draw with Qatar and a goalless opening 70 minutes against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Switzerland’s World Cup burst into life with four late goals to beat the latter 4-1 in Los Angeles. The main architects of that victory were substitutes Johan Manzambi and Ruben Vargas, who were involved in all four goals. Manzambi scored twice while Vargas added a goal and an assist, with both safely in contention to start against Canada. Switzerland’s place in a fourth successive knockout stage is already all but assured, but they trail the co-hosts on goal difference, so manager Murat Yakin might as well go for the win that would leapfrog them over today’s opponents and finish top of Group B.
Although unlikely, neither side is guaranteed to progress, so both will be looking for the point to secure the knockouts.
