After 2 Rounds, co-hosts Mexico & USMNT book Round of 32 spots; Canada as good as through too

After two rounds of World Cup 2026 action, co-hosts Mexico and the United States have booked their spot in the Round of 32. Canada aren’t quite there yet, but you could practically say that they’re as good as through thanks to their margin of their 6-0 win over Qatar.

Mexico in Group A

Mexico began their campaign with a 2-0 win over South Africa and followed it up with a 1-0 victory over South Korea to become the first team to seal their spot in the knockout stages of the competition. Luis Romo scored the only goal of the game as El Tri, playing without the suspended Cesar Montes, ran out winners at the Azteca.

Because H2H is the first criteria to be applied in the tie-breakers, Mexico are not only through- they’re also through as group winners. The Czech Republic and South Africa cannot catch them on points, and while Korea can catch them on points, H2H ensures Mexico will top the group either way. That also means more knockout games at the Azteca for El Tri, where they will be a very formidable team to face for any opponent.
