Six Matches Set to Decide Group Stage Fate
The 2026 World Cup continues with a packed Day 14 schedule, featuring six fixtures that will determine which teams advance to the knockout rounds. After England's goalless draw against Ghana, the Three Lions are effectively through to the next stage following Croatia's 1-0 win over Panama. However, Thomas Tuchel's side still needs to secure top spot in Group L to avoid a last-32 clash with Portugal, who revived their campaign with a 5-0 thrashing of Uzbekistan. Cristiano Ronaldo silenced critics with two goals, becoming the first player to score at six different World Cups.
Group B: Canada and Switzerland Eye Knockout Berth
The action kicks off in Vancouver and Seattle, where Canada face Switzerland and Bosnia-Herzegovina take on Qatar. All four teams in Group B can still qualify. A draw between Canada and Switzerland would see both progress, with the co-hosts Canada advancing as group winners. Bosnia-Herzegovina need a win by at least three goals to have a chance of finishing above Canada (should Canada lose) or as one of the best third-placed teams. Qatar, with a goal difference of -6, require a minor miracle to advance.
Group C: Scotland Aim for Historic Knockout Debut
In Miami, Scotland face Brazil with a chance to make history by reaching the World Cup knockout stages for the first time. A win secures progression for Steve Clarke's side, a draw likely suffices, and even defeat may not be fatal. Brazil must match or better Morocco's result against Haiti—playing simultaneously—to finish as group winners. Both matches kick off at 11pm BST.
Group A: Mexico Seek Clean Sweep, South Korea in Control
The overnight fixtures feature Group A. In Mexico City, Mexico aim for a perfect group stage with victory over Czechia, who would progress as runners-up if they win and South Korea lose to South Africa. In Monterrey, South Korea need only a point to finish second, regardless of the Czechia result. South Africa must win to have any realistic hope of advancing, as two points likely won't be enough for a third-place qualifying spot.
