Brazil is hosting this World Cup so I have a hard time thinking we have any shot at this. I've see a few people say they think we will win it, do they realize where this is being played?
Everyone else is playing for 2nd place it seems. But anything can happen in the KO stage. Italy didn't win it all in 1990...neither did Germany in 2006. That said, the USA in my mind will be about as much of a longshot as we usually are.
For all I care it could be played in Central Park. It doesn't matter. We ain't winnin' it, and we won't win it until we start producing better players. They're just not good enough to get beyond where we just finished, or perhaps the quarters.
