After hosting the World Cup in 2022, Qatar did everything they could to enrage the locals in Vancouver in their second Group B game this time around.
The group underdogs might be relieved to be playing outside Canada again in the aftermath of their widely condemned physical approach to what was ultimately a 6-0 loss against the co-hosts.

Qatar will be without Homam Ahmed and Assim Madibo, both sent off at BC Place as Julen Lopetegui's team demonstrated an alarming loss of control.
The result was overshadowed to a large degree by the injury inflicted on Ismael Kone by Madibo, an incident that could prove as distracting for Qatar as it is for a Canadian team with four points under their belt.
The Qataris' race is not yet run. They made Switzerland pay for their profligacy on matchday one and that late equaliser means a win today would likely be enough.

Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Qatar: World Cup 2026 Preview
The internal equations of Group B are such that a maximum of one of these teams can go through to the round of 32. Like Qatar, Bosnia and Herzegovina followed a draw with a heavy loss, and a point each would mean game over for both.
Things will be more interesting if there's a winner in Seattle. Canada and Switzerland meet elsewhere with both on four points, meaning that a result in both games would see second and third both on four.
If that's Qatar and Switzerland or Canada and Bosnia, the head-to-head tiebreaker would be meaningless and goals scored would come into play. In truth, four points should be enough one way or another regardless.
The most recent of a small handful of previous meetings between these nations took place in 2010. It was a 1-1 draw in a summer friendly in Sarajevo in which striker Edin Dzeko, now Bosnia and Herzegovina's 40-year-old captain, was named in the starting line-up.
Dzeko is his country's most-capped player and record goalscorer too. Qatar's captain and most-capped player is Hassan Al-Haydos. He's in the squad along with top scorer Almoez Ali.
This match is essentially a matter of win and in. For either team, it would mean a first-ever trip to the knock-out rounds at just the second attempt.
