A meaningless match? Hardly. Despite already being eliminated from contention for the last 16, Canada goes into its final group game against high-flying Morocco with much to play for. The Canadian men are still seeking a first-ever World Cup win. Or even a first point. They have one more chance in Qatar. To do that, John Herdman's side will need to slow down a Moroccan team that has its eyes on top spot in Group F. Will Canada play with less pressure in its finale? Will Herdman make significant lineup adjustments? And how do you stop Achraf Hakimi and Hakim Ziyech? Featuring an interview with former national team head coach Stephen Hart (16:21), Episode 9 answers those questions, breaks down the tactics on both sides, and predicts how the match will unfold.

John Herdman told his players, and the world, that Canada would take down Croatia. Instead, the wily Croatians taught Herdman's team a harsh lesson, using their experience and technical quality to knock Canada out of the World Cup with a resounding 4-1 result. After such an encouraging performance against Belgium, it was a deflating way to bow out of the competition. How did everything go so wrong after Alphonso Davies' historic goal just 68 seconds into the match? Did Herdman get his tactics and lineup wrong? And did his infamous pre-game comments come back to haunt Canada? Episode 8 answers those questions, and breaks down the defeat from every angle.
