Could the USMNT secure its place in Qatar 2022 on this FIFA date?

The USMNT aspires to finish the FIFA Date with 24 points, which would bring them closer to Qatar. The only way in which Greg Berhalter’s squad can book a ticket to the next World Cup is by winning the three matches and expecting that Panama and Mexico also lose their three games. 

It looks complicated for that combination of results to come to fruition, however, the U.S. team should look for as many points as possible to close the last FIFA matchday in a more relaxed manner.
