Summary created with

A good three months before the World Cup, the national teams are busy preparing for the tournament. While Switzerland are testing against Germany and Norway, our group opponents are also testing. At least one of them.

The Canadians want to spark euphoria for the upcoming tournament, which is partly taking place in their own country. So far, however, this has only been partially successful.

The North Americans have failed to win twice. On Wednesday night, they drew lamely 0-0 against World Cup participants Tunisia in Toronto.

And they also failed to win against Iceland last Saturday. Against the Europeans, who did not qualify for the World Cup, Canada needed two penalty kicks to secure a draw. Jonathan David converted twice in the 67th and 75th minute. Iceland took a 2:0 lead in the first half.

Germany coach Jesse Marsch still has a lot of work to do before the World Cup. The Nati will face Canada in their final World Cup group game on June 24.

Our first World Cup opponent, Qatar, has completely different worries at the moment. Because the desert state is involved in the Iran war, the test matches have fallen through.

The Qataris would have played Serbia last Thursday and Argentina next Tuesday. However, due to the unstable situation in the country, the matches were canceled. This means that the hosts of the last World Cup will only have a training camp.

However, the team's last impression is weak. Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui's team were eliminated from the Arab Cup last December without a win or any points. The last international match was the 0:3 defeat against Tunisia.

Switzerland have known their last opponent since Tuesday evening. The Bosnians beat Italy on penalties in a dramatic play-off final and have made it to the World Cup for the second time in their history after 2014. The World Cup entry was celebrated afterwards.

However, Bosnia celebrated their last victory after 90 minutes last year. In the semi-final against Wales, after a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes, they only prevailed in a penalty shoot-out.
