a) If COL and NZL tie, CAN likely finished 2nd in the group
b) if CAN finishes 3rd in the group with 1 pt, they'd still probably have a better GD than another group's 3rd place finisher if they had 1 pt too. In 2020 the 3rd place teams had 4, 4, and 1 pts, so it can happen.
Basically if either the Japan-Nigeria or Australia-Zambia or Colombia-NZL games ends as a tie, the odds are in Canada's favour as long as they don't #### the bed.

Scenario 2 is dead. Colombia beat NZL 2-0 and AUS beat Zambia 6-5. And Japan beat Brazil.
Just got to win them both now. I'm not sure if there are realistic scenarios where they could win both and still miss, but I don't think so.
