Co-hosts Canada face Switzerland in Vancouver knowing they will finish top of Group B at the FIFA World Cup 2026 if they avoid defeat – and you can live stream the game around the world for free.
It's not often that a 6-0 victory can leave you feeling a bit hollow, but you could forgive Canada's staff and players for being a little flat following 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 when substitute Nathan Saliba, who came on for Kone, scored the co-hosts' fourth and held up his team-mate's shirt in tribute. Marsch and his players must refocus quickly as they return to BC Place. Their reward for avoiding defeat will not just be top spot in Group B, but also a last-32 fixture back 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 chief 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 surely 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 victory that would leapfrog them above today's opponents and finish top of Group B.
Though unlikely, neither side is guaranteed progress, though, so both will seek the point to secure the knockouts.
