Canada, South Africa kick off World Cup knockouts

Canada, South Africa kick off World Cup knockouts

It's a historic moment for both Canada and South Africa, as neither team has ever reached this stage of a World Cup before. The opening match of the last-32 knockout stage will feature the joint-hosts, Canada, against South Africa, scheduled for Sunday at 8 PM BST. Canada's loss in their last group match means they won't play any further games in their home country.
