Certainly take the point before the match, but conceeding in injury time after previously been up 2-0 is dissapointing. We likely still make the last 16, but if we lose to Argentina (as is probable) it would be as one of the 4/6 best 3rd place qualifer and would play a group winner instead of a team who gets lower in their group. Also means we can't rest best players against Argentina as much, as now goal difference could matter for the best 3rd place spot. 

I haven't run the sims/maths, but I'm pretty sure win and a draw should likely be enough to make the 16 though regardless of gd.
