Czechia and South Africa meet in Group A on Matchday 2, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Our full pre-match read — the local-press reporting, the team news that matters and the one thing to watch — lands closer to kickoff, once the group's opening games have shaped what's at stake. In the meantime, the team guides have how each side plays, who to watch and how far they can go.
