...Now going back to the football discussion and what Canada's goals should be...
I think Canada's goal before the draw and after the draw should still be R16. If players and operations staff's only goal is to not get embarrassed, then they should just fold the tent now. R16 HAS to be the goal.
Canada should press and throw everything they have at Morocco. The goal has to be a win. Morocco is not weak, but much must be risked in war.
Canada should play careful but confident against Belgium and Croatia in hopes of an upset or a draw. Neither Croatia or Belgium are unbeatable. 3+1 points usually can get you to R16. IMO the only unbeatable teams on paper are BRA and FRA, despite losing Pogba. Maybe ENG, but their coach is a dummy.
Playing safe and losing is the same as playing to win and losing. But at least if you play to win, you have a chance at upsets. LFG

Exactly what I've been saying. Take points off Morocco and try and snag 1 point somewhere else.
That being said, its important to be cautious. One bad game where you get your ass handed to you and your goal difference is shot.
