Group A and B matches for the 2026 World Cup will be played on Thursday. We bring you the highlights of the 8th day. The match between the Czech Republic and South Africa will be a must-win match as both teams lost their first matches. South Africa lost to Mexico 2-0, and Czech Republic lost 2-1 to South Korea. South Africa will be without midfielders Sfepero Sithole and Themba Zwane for the remainder of the group stage after they were sent off against Mexico. The Czech Republic would like to overcome the issue of not being able to maintain their lead in the match against South Korea. The match between Switzerland and Bosnia and Herzegovina is an important match in Group B. A win in this match will be important as both teams drew in their first match. Switzerland conceded a late goal to Qatar, resulting in a draw. Canada vs. Qatar is a must-win game for Canada to advance to the final round. Canadian star Alphonso Davies is available but may not be in the starting lineup as he is recovering from a hamstring injury. In the match between Mexico and South Korea, even a draw between both teams will give them an advantage in advancing to the final round, but the winning team will have a better chance of finishing first in their group. Mexico had some frustrating moments in the first game, but won with Juan Quiñones' opening goal and Raul Jimenez's second goal. South Korea also has off-field issues, including an incident in which a drone that was filming a South Korean practice behind closed doors was shot down by the Mexican military.
