Goals for/against makes no difference. Our 2 remaining hopes for making the hex are:
1. The US somehow falls apart and fails to beat Cuba. This means we'd win the group and get the high value playoff matches in June where we can gain a bunch of points.
2. El Salvador fails to beat Dominican Republic tomorrow. They did take until the 90th minute to score on Montserrat so it's possible. If El Salvador loses we'd be about 10 points up on them which would be nearly impossible to make up with friendlies. If they draw we'd be about 3 points back of them and will need to play and win some friendlies before June.
Note that El Salvador has now clinched their group in Nations League so they automatically qualify for the 2021 Gold Cup and do not get to play qualifiers.
