Kane and Bukayo Saka both scored twice, while Gordon, Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers also found the net.

Czechia, meanwhile, need a major turnaround after losing all three of their games. They opened the campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Croatia, then lost 2-0 to England before Spain beat them 3-1 on October 3. UEFA’s current standings show Czechia with zero points and a -5 goal difference.

The match comes at an important moment for Spain, which enters the Nations League as the reigning 2026 FIFA World Cup champion. Luis de la Fuente‘s team defeated Argentina in the World Cup final on July 19 and will now begin its first competitive campaign since lifting the trophy. Spain also reached the 2025 Nations League final, where it lost to Portugal on penalties after a 2-2 draw, and had previously won the competition in 2023.

Czech Republic, meanwhile, faces a demanding route through Group 3. The team opens against Croatia on September 26, hosts England three days later and then travels to Oviedo for its first meeting with Spain before visiting England on October 6.

Match Preview: What’s at stake?

Czechia vs. England is a UEFA Nations League Group A3 match and the second fixture of the September window for both teams. The two nations are in a group alongside Spain and Croatia, with the first four matchdays taking place between September 24 and October 6 before the competition resumes in November.

For England, the match is part of a demanding start to the new Nations League campaign. Thomas Tuchel‘s team opens against the reigning world champions Spain at Wembley on September 26, then travels to Prague three days later. England also has another away match against Croatia on October 3 before hosting Czechia at Wembley on October 6.

The Three Lions enter this competition after finishing third at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and Tuchel has made several changes to his squad. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jude Bellingham are among the players selected, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Lewis Hall, Rio Ngumoha, Jarrad Branthwaite, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Alex Scott are also included. However, England has subsequently lost several players to injuries, including Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo and Tino Livramento.

Czechia are also beginning their Group A3 campaign at home, with Croatia visiting Prague on September 26 before England arrives three days later. The schedule then sends Czechia to Spain on October 3, followed by another trip to Wembley on October 6.

Czechia and Croatia open their 2026/27 UEFA Nations League campaigns in League A, Group A3 on September 26 at Fortuna Arena in Prague. The group also features England and Spain, making this one of the competition’s most demanding sections.

The top two teams in each League A group advance to the quarterfinals, so starting the campaign with points could prove important before the four teams face each other again in November.

The matchup also begins a new coaching cycle for both nations. Santi Denia takes charge of Czechia for his first competitive match, while Slaven Bilic returns as Croatia’s head coach, having previously led the national team from 2006 to 2012.

UEFA notes that Czechia earned promotion to League A by winning their League B group in the previous edition, while Croatia reached the quarterfinals of the 2024/25 Nations League before losing to France.

This is quite common when the World Cup window closes. Many teams and managers decide to open new horizons and change gears. After all, managing a national team goes in four-year processes in between World Cups. Hence, it’s a long commitment.

Some are not eager to compromise for another four years after a grueling World Cup qualifying process. Hence, it’s time to review which teams will be in search of a new manager by no choice of their own, but by their former managers.

First managers that have resigned after 2026 World Cup elimination

Steve Clarke stepped down as manager following Scotland’s exit. Despite signing a new four-year contract before the tournament, his seven-year reign ended after the team failed to advance to the knockout stage.

Hong Myung-bo announced his resignation following the South Korea’s elimination, stepping down amid heavy criticism of the team’s performance and failing to qualify to the Round of 32. Also, Miroslav Koubek resigned after a winless, last-place group stage exit by Czechia.

List of managers that quit after 2026 World Cup

• Steve Clarke – Scotland – 7 years in charge
• Hong Myung-Bo – South Korea – 2 years in charge
• Miroslav Koubek – Czechia – 7 months in charge
• Ronald Koeman – Netherlands – 3.5 years in charge
• Marcelo Bielsa – Uruguay – 3 years in charge
• Sebastian Beccacece – Ecuador – 2 years in charge
• Carlos Queiroz – Ghana – 3 months in charge
• Roberto Martinez – Portugal – 3.5 years in charge
• Javier Aguirre – Mexico – 2 years in charge
• Zlatko Dalic – Croatia – 9 years in charge

‘Memo’ Ochoa previously announced that this 2026 World Cup would serve as his professional “Last Dance,” confirming he will officially hang up his gloves at the conclusion of the tournament. However, with Mexico advancing into the knockout rounds, the door technically remains open for one final appearance on the pitch. Even so, the 40-year-old icon will have to bide his time; he currently sits third on the depth chart behind established number-one starter Jose Rangel.

By stepping onto the pitch against Czechia, Ochoa cemented his status as an immortal of the sport. The cameo officially made him the first player in soccer history to physically take the pitch in six different World Cups, joining an elite stratum of longevity alongside icons like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have also earned selections to six consecutive tournament rosters.

What’s next for Mexico and Ochoa?

While the emotional high of the Czechia victory still lingers, Mexico and ‘Memo’ Ochoa must quickly pivot to their next challenge. Having comfortably punched their ticket to the knockout stage, El Tri now awaits the official confirmation of their Round of 32 opponent.

Barring a sudden injury or suspension to Mexico’s starting goalkeeper, Ochoa is expected to watch the remainder of the tournament from the bench, serving as a veteran presence rather than an on-field option for the upcoming knockout rounds.

Ochoa’s comments after what could be his last game

While a microscopic chance remains that emergency circumstances could force Ochoa back onto the pitch, the legendary shot-stopper spoke after the match with the tone of a man who knows his playing days are officially done.

“My first game, Azteca. My last game, Azteca. It’s been a beautiful final chapter of my career, thank you everyone,” Ochoa told reporters after Mexico’s dominant 3-0 victory over Czechia, which capped off a perfect nine-point run through the group stage.

There is no sugarcoating it, Czechia have been eliminated from the 2026 World Cup. It’s fitting, too. Czechia left much to be desired throughout the entire 2026 World Cup and were exposed by Mexico, even when El Tri rested players like Raul Jimenez, who didn’t play against Czechia. Following the harsh 3-0 loss against Mexico in Mexico City, Czechia dropped all the way to last place in Group A with a single point.

Meanwhile, South Africa shocked South Korea with a 1-0 victory to climb all the way to second place in Group A. Contrary to Czechia, South Korea aren’t officially out of the 2026 World Cup, but their fate now hinges on the rest of the teams in the tournament. The final standings of Group A show Mexico finished first, South Africa second, South Korea third, and Czechia fourth. For the time being, though, only Czechia is out of the tournament.

Czechia suffer crushing loss

With their backs against the wall and everything on the line, Czechia came out of the tunnel and onto the pitch at Estadio Azteca looking lifeless. Aside from a few chances here and there, Mexico were never put under duress, and they came away with a 3-0 victory that, though deserved, felt much more lopsided than the action on the field suggested.

In more ways than one, it was Czechia who gifted the goals rather than Mexico creating them through a dominant performance. Once again, Mexico showed their ability to pounce on their opponents’ mistakes, and once more, they held their rivals scoreless. That’s been the recipe for success all tournament long for El Tricolor. Needless to say, they will keep it rolling into the round of 32.

As for Czechia, they simply never found their footing nor their recipe. Maybe the Representatives will figure things out on the way back to Prague, but it’s already too late. The 2026 World Cup has come to an end for them.

Czechia’s results in 2026 World Cup

Czechia walk away from the 2026 World Cup crestfallen and beaten in every regard. Making their first FIFA World Cup appearance since 2006, the Repre delivered an absolute disasterclass.

• Czechia 1-2 South Korea
• Czechia 1-1 South Africa
• Czechia 0-3 Mexico

Twenty years after their group-stage exit at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the Czechs are out in the first round once again. With only one point in three games, it was far from a memorable summer for the Representatives. Fans across Bohemia waited 20 years for the national team to score two goals and win zero games in soccer’s biggest tournament. Disappointment doesn’t do justice to how they feel.

Mexico had already secured their first-place finish after their 1-0 win over South Korea. Thus, entering the final matchday, El Tri had nothing on the line, while Czechia, South Africa, and South Korea were left to battle for second place and a potential third-place seed in the round of 32.

Mexico’s calm was made crystal clear by Javier Aguirre’s decision to leave Raul Jimenez out of the starting lineup against Czechia. However, South Korea made a shocking decision of their own, as Heung-min Son didn’t start against South Africa. Similarly, during Czechia’s game against Mexico, Patrik Schick didn’t start for the Representatives.

Whether those decisions played a role in how the group standings panned out or not, we can only speculate, but it’s all counterfactual. What is a fact, however, is that Mexico and South Africa are through to the round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup. As for South Korea, they aren’t eliminated just yet. However, their fate is no longer in their hands. The same can’t be said about Czechia.

Final scores in Group A

Although they were the only team with nothing to play for on the final matchday, Mexico put together the best performance of any team in Group A. El Tri completed a perfect group stage with a 3-0 win over Czechia, finishing the first round of the 2026 World Cup with three straight clean sheets.

To make things even better, after Raul Rangel kept his goal under lock and key, Mexico paid tribute to Guillermo Ochoa with a late substitution against Czechia. Finally, the legendary goalkeeper had his moment at the 2026 World Cup and in front of his nation.

Meanwhile, at Monterrey Stadium, South Korea put on yet another disappointing outing as they fell against South Africa by a minimum score of 1-0. The win secured South Africa’s place as Group A’s runner-up and left South Korea in need of a miracle. As for Czechia, they are officially out of the 2026 World Cup.

Who are Mexico and South Africa playing next?

While South Africa have already learned their next opponent as well as when and where they will play in the round of 32, Mexico don’t have as many certainties. South Africa will take on Canada on June 28 in Los Angeles.

As for the co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup, Mexico will play at home at Mexico City and on June 30, but their opponent has yet to be confirmed. All Mexico know it’s that it will be a third-place team from Group C/E/F/H/I.

Group A final standings at 2026 World Cup

While this marks his sixth World Cup roster inclusion with Mexico, Ochoa has actually seen on-field action in four of them, including the current 2026 campaign against Czechia. Nevertheless, he joins an extraordinarily exclusive club as one of the few players in soccer history to earn a call-up to six consecutive iterations of the tournament.

Alongside Ochoa, global icons Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo stand as the only other players in history to secure a spot on six different World Cup squads. However, unlike the Mexican shot-stopper—who spent his first two tournaments on the bench—Ronaldo and Messi hold the distinct honor of having actually played in every single tournament for which they were called up.

By stepping onto the pitch at the 2026 World Cup, Ochoa officially secures his place in the history books. More than just a milestone, this appearance likely signals a poignant farewell, marking his final match for Mexico and his official retirement from professional soccer as the legendary goalkeeper prepares to hang up his gloves.

Ochoa’s stats with Mexico

Beyond his historic six World Cup roster selections, Ochoa has anchored the national team for over two decades, cementing his legacy as one of the most decorated and iconic players in the modern history of El Tri.

A breakdown of his historic career with the Mexican National Team:

• Senior National Team Debut: December 14, 2005 (Age 20, vs. Hungary)
• Total International Caps: 151
• Clean Sheets: 57

Trophies and honors with Mexico

While he didn’t see the pitch in every World Cup cycle he partook in, Ochoa was the undisputed catalyst for regional dominance during his international tenure, guiding Mexico to silverware on multiple occasions.

A look at his major achievements on the international stage:

• CONCACAF Gold Cup: 5x Champion (2009, 2011, 2015, 2019, 2023) — The most decorated player in Gold Cup history. (Note: Adjusted from 6x to 5x to accurately match the listed years).
• Summer Olympic Games: Bronze Medal (Tokyo 2020 as an overage captain)
• FIFA Confederations Cup: Fourth-Place Finish (2017)

Regardless it they win, tie or lose, Mexico have already secured their place in the Round of 32. That is why head coach Javier Aguirre has decided to rest players, with the notable detail that Guillermo Ochoa will also not start the match.

These are the eleven players who will take the field from the start against Czechia, in a match officiated by Argentine referee Yael Falcon Perez.

Raul Rangel; Jorge Sanchez, Cesar Montes, Edson Alvarez, Israel Reyes, Mateo Chavez; Luis Romo, Gilberto Mora; Julian Quinones, Guillermo Martinez, Roberto Alvarado.

Jimenez’s World Cup numbers

During his first two Group A matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Raul Jimenez has been a key figure leading Mexico’s frontline, accumulating 156 minutes on the pitch. The veteran striker found the back of the net once during the opening match against South Africa, where he recorded 3 shots (all on target) and completed 16 accurate passes in 76 minutes of play.

In the second fixture against South Korea, Jimenez played 80 minutes, registering 1 shot on target and completing 12 accurate passes, bringing his total tournament stats to 1 goal, 4 shots on target, and 28 accurate passes before being rested for the final group stage rotation.

Czechia also make changes

The European side, currently ranked 43rd in the FIFA World Ranking, must win to keep its qualification hopes alive. Notably, Patrik Schick is not in the starting XI for this crucial match and will begin on the bench due to a tactical decision.

What’s next for Mexico?

After securing the top spot in Group A, Mexico are scheduled to play their round of 32 match on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at 9:00 PM ET. El Tri will take the pitch at the iconic Estadio Azteca (Mexico City Stadium), facing one of the best third-placed teams advancing from Groups C, E, F, H, or I.

Ochoa has been a substitute in every game of the 2026 World Cup so far. Thus, Aguirre’s decision to start Raul Rangel, who warned the rest of teams in the World Cup, isn’t all too surprising from that perspective.

However, considering Mexico have already clinched first place in Group A and are guaranteed to play at home in the Land of the Sun, many expected Mexico to start Ochoa against Czechia. The legendary goalkeeper was called up for the sixth time to a World Cup squad, but has yet to register playing minutes in the 2026 World Cup.

Mexico are sticking with Rangel in goal

Aguirre is instead opting to ride the hot hand and stick with Rangel in goal. So far through the 2026 World Cup, Mexico haven’t allowed any goals, and that’s largely thanks to the goalkeeper’s heroics. Against Czechia, Rangel may have one less threat to worry about, as Patrik Schick won’t be starting against Mexico.

Moreover, Rangel is going to be Mexico’s starter in the round of 32, so it made little sense to take him off the team when a goalkeeper runs little risk of injury and may have more to lose than to gain by missing crucial minutes. While Rangel won’t be rested, Raul Jimenez will and he isn’t starting for Mexico.

As for Ochoa, the decision may sting, but it was always going to be a long shot, especially as he was only an emergency addition to the 26-man squad. He wasn’t on Aguirre’s original plans, and the head coach has shown his hand doesn’t tremble even when dealing with a player with a résumé like Ochoa.

Ochoa might be subbed-in

While it would be quite a decision, Aguirre might send Ochoa into the game late during Mexico’s matchup with Czechia. After all, it’s happened several times before.

For example, in 2014, Colombia head coach Jose Pekerman decided to send 41-year-old goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon into their final group-stage game as Colombia defeated Japan 4-1. Perhaps Aguirre—pressured by the sold-out crowd at Mexico City Stadium—pulls a similar move and sends Ochoa into the game late just for him to register another cap with the national team.

Who knows? It may be the last chance Ochoa gets to represent his country, not just in a World Cup, but at all. It’s safe to assume Mexican fans may raise their voices to see “Memo” one last time.
