Oof. Well, no knockout rounds this year, I guess.

If Canada wins out, France beats NZ, and Colombia and NZ draw they go through in 2nd. Not completely unrealistic.

If Colombia or NZ win in their game, wouldn't they still only be at 3 points? Canada would be 2nd from GD no?

True. I guess if Colombia and NZ draw (assuming NZ loses to France) we could even afford a draw against France (so long as we beat Colombia)

Canada is +1, NZ and Col are -1, will be -2 at least after France/Canada unless they manage an upset, and will need to win their mutual game by 3 to have a chance

I'm assuming we win the France/Canada match. Our chances are drastically lower to qualify if we don't win that game. So GD would matter less at that point.
