3rd game vs Morroco should (haven't checked, though I assume because that's they way it has been in previous WCs) be held at the same time that Croatia plays Belgium.
If Canada has lost vs BEL and tied CRO, and Croatia and Belgium have both beat Morocco, Canada would need BEL of course to win over Morocco and then yes goal difference, but with games going on at same time, they won't know fully in advance how many they need to win by.
Instituted due to shadiness back in the day, such as Argentina knowing the day before of needing to win by 6 to win their 2nd phase group at home in 1978, and of course they won by 6 and kicked Brazil out.
