I don't think there's anything to worry about. Some of these away games in the Caribbean aren't super easy with the poor field conditions, etc. Also the way the qualifying tournament is structured the first two rounds were more uneven matchups while the last two are teams that are closer in talent. There haven't really been any blow-outs this round - Cuba & Jamaica each won by 1 and Haiti won by 2. From what I hear Canada controlled the game and had some shots hit the post as well.
Really, even if Canada loses the last game they most likely will finish in the top 6 and will qualify for the top league. I don't expect us to lose to French Guiana at home in March regardless. And the biggest plus is that we've capped a bunch of new kids that had multiple options of countries (Tabla, Busti, etc.).
