Canada face Switzerland with Group B top spot on the line

Canada face Switzerland tonight for Group B top spot

Your final group-stage match kicks off Wednesday evening. Canada vs Switzerland. Winner takes the group (1) (2) (4). The match runs parallel to Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Qatar in the same group, which means the full Group B picture will resolve at once (1).

The bracket question nobody wants to say out loud

Finishing first in Group B likely avoids Belgium in the round of 16. Second place might mean walking straight into them. Brazil, Scotland, and Mexico are all weighing similar calculations in their own groups (3). Canada are right there in that conversation too. Win and the path looks cleaner. Lose, and it gets complicated fast.
