You could 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. That means Canada won’t play any more games on home soil, which slightly took the shine off reaching the World Cup knockout stage for the first time. Yet, for all the partisan Vancouver support they’ll now miss, the Canucks have very winnable last-32 fixture against a side that began the tournament ranked 60th to their 30th in the FIFA rankings. After scoring eight times in three group-stage matches, Canada will again look to Jonathan David and Cyle Larin to fire them into the last-16. The big question, though, is whether captain Alphonso Davies is finally fit to play some 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 Mexico in the tournament opener on June 11. Bafana Bafana have showed impressive resilience to reach their own first knockout phase. After a 1-1 draw with Czechia, Thapelo Maseko’s second-half strike stunned South Korea to seal second place in Group A. Relebohile Mofokeng impressed against South Korea and the 21-year-old has another opportunity to shine on the biggest stage.
