Group A will be decided once and for all on Wednesday when all four participants play their final matches of the World Cup group stage.
Mexico can afford to rest and rotate for its Group A finale having already guaranteed top spot, but South Korea, Czechia and South Africa find themselves in more uncertain predicaments.
South Korea is in the driver‘s seat to finish as runners-up, knowing a single point against South Africa will be enough due to its superior head-to-head record with Czechia. Defeat, however, would see it leapfrogged by the African side, and could result in guaranteed elimination if Czechia defeats Mexico.
There’s plenty still to play for in Group A and here‘s how to watch the action unfold live.

When Does the World Cup Knockout Stage Begin?
June 28 is the date when the last 32 begins, but Mexico won‘t be in action until two days later, when it clashes with one of the third-place qualifiers.
Whoever finishes runner-up in Group A will face the second-placed nation from Group B—one of Canada, Switzerland, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Qatar.
If a third-place team reaches the last 32, it will face either Germany or the winner of Group G.
