Group B qualification paths
This group should be treated as a scenario page until final squad information and match form are clearer.
| Path | What has to happen | Reader takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| Canada top-two path | Canada uses home-stage energy, avoids early dropped points, and turns Toronto/Vancouver demand into a competitive edge. | Track Canada squad updates and keep host-city travel flexible. |
| Switzerland top-two path | Switzerland’s tournament stability carries over and they manage the group without needing a high-risk final match. | Watch head-to-head results before assuming Canada controls the group. |
| Bosnia and Herzegovina spoiler path | Bosnia turns the Canada match or diaspora-heavy fixtures into a points swing. | Use Bosnia squad-watch content if that match becomes the group hinge. |
| Qatar upset path | Qatar keeps matches low-scoring, uses tournament experience, and forces qualification math into the final round. | Treat Qatar as a scenario risk, not just a background team. |
