I totally agree with you, the USMNT does actually have a shot at this thing.

I, for the life of me, cannot figure out how everyone can write us off after the Confederations Cup. Our performances early on were suspect and just squeaked through the group stage but thats where it all changed. The squad gelled and came together.

Dude. I love the USMNT more than most, but let's get real here:

No. We. Can't. Win. The. World. Cup.

Won't stop us from trying! But let's not be delusional. I would consider it a tremendous success if we win an elimination game.
