7. On one hand, goal differential is a tiebreaker...

So there's some reason to run up the score (which should be limited by a rule that sets some kind of per-game cap on how many goals of victory margin "counts&quot .

The bigger issue is over-celebrating the late goals. I didn't watch but that's what critics are talking about. Once you're past about 5-0 there's no reason to get overly excited unless maybe it's someone's first-ever goal at this level. Otherwise act like you've scored goals before and are the #1 seed of the tournament - you're expected to dominate.
