      South Africa currently ranks 54th in the FIFA world rankings. The total value of the whole team is only 49.25 million euros. The overall lineup is mainly composed of players from the local league, and there are few core players from the top five leagues. Their individual ability and lineup depth are at the lower level in this knockout stage, and their paper strength is obviously weak. The team was in the so - called "Group of Death A" with Mexico, Czech Republic, and South Korea. Their qualification process was extremely tenacious. In the first round, they lost 0 - 2 to the host Mexico. In the second round, they stubbornly drew with the Czech Republic. In the last round, facing a win - or - die situation, with two midfield core players suspended, they relied on Masekgo's winning goal to beat South Korea 1 - 0. Finally, with a record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss, accumulating 4 points, they reversed to get the second place in the group and narrowly advanced to the knockout stage. Canada

The double defensive midfielders build a midfield interception barrier. The entire defense line retreats deeper, and full - backs rarely push forward. They rely on a compact formation to compress the space in front of the penalty area and use tough physical confrontations to disrupt the opponent's passing lines. Once they intercept the ball, they immediately send long vertical passes to the wingers with speed to exploit the space behind the opponent's defense. The team's scoring methods mainly focus on counter - attacks on the flanks and heading goals from set - pieces. Multiple rounds of group - stage matches have proven that this defensive "iron bucket" formation has sufficient resilience under pressure. However, i
