Tension will be palpable when Czechia takes on South Africa in Atlanta on Thursday, as both sides desperately seek a bounce-back win following losses in their opening fixtures.
Neither team distinguished themselves in their Group A debuts, though Czechia put in a considerably better showing than a nine-man South Africa side that fell to co-hosts Mexico before a sold-out Estadio Azteca crowd.
With eight third-place finishers also advancing to the round of 32 alongside each group's top two, a single win could be sufficient to secure a spot in the knockout rounds. For both Czechia and South Africa, Thursday represents their best opportunity to bank three crucial points.
Here's where fans can tune in to watch this potentially pivotal encounter.
