You can forgive Canada manager Jesse Marsch and his players for feeling a little flat ahead of their FIFA World Cup 2026 last-32 clash with South Africa in Los Angeles, which you can live stream around the world for free.
The co-hosts needed only a draw against Switzerland to finish top of Group B, but fell to a 2-1 defeat. This means Canada will not play any more matches at home, which somewhat took the shine off reaching the World Cup knockout stage for the first time. Still, for all the partisan Vancouver support they’ll now miss, the Canucks have a very winnable last-32 matchup against a team that started the tournament from 60th to 30th in the FIFA rankings. After scoring eight times in three games in the group stage, Canada will once again look to Jonathan David and Cyle Larin to send them to the Round of 16. However, the big question is whether captain Alphonso Davies is finally able to play a part in the tournament.
This is South Africa’s second meeting with one of the co-hosts at this World Cup, having lost 2-0 to Mexico in the tournament opener on 11 June. Bafana Bafana have shown impressive resilience to reach their own first knockout stage. After a 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic, Thapelo Maseko’s second-half strike stunned South Korea to secure second place in Group A. Relebohile Mofokeng impressed against South Korea and the 21-year-old has another chance to shine on the biggest stage.
