You guys played amazing. You took one of the best teams (if not the best) in the world to the brink, playing toe-to-toe the whole time. Keep your head held high. You're a better team than Italy, England, Spain, Ecuador, Russia and so forth.
USA may have been last to be eliminated but they are not a top 10 team in the world of soccer, in my opinion.
http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/calendar/events.html 2015 25 July Preliminary Draw for the 2018 FIFA World Cup(TM) St Petersburg So in just over a calendar year, we can officially give the first teams who have withdrawn from qualifying entirely.
This is offtopic but damm Copa America Centenario is not recognized by FIFA Which means that players must go there on their own will. So clubs can refuse to let them go and FIFA won't force the clubs to let them go
Okay, so someone correct me if there are any errors but using Timanfaya's list from last year to build on, is this the final eliminations list? PS...
