I fail to see how this huge variable applies to them, but it becomes impossible for the US.  I would argue those three countries and the US all have equal shot at winning a World Cup in next five cycles. All being low, but also pretty close.


hahaha don't make me laugh

The only reason I mentioned those 3 countries is because their current best players are on their prime right now and for the next WC depending on how good their young players develop (e.g Belgium's Curtois is already World Class) they might get a a chance to do something in 2018.

Altidore was a failure in the EPL, Tim Howard plays for fucking Everton and the rest of the US players who are in thier prime play in weak leagues like the MLS (which btw is a league with no real footballing passion as a relegation system has never been implemented).

They US have no culture with regards to football, they will never achieve a World Cup because the US youth simply doesn't love or care about the sport as much as countries who really do

1. Equal as in all are long shots

2. How would I prove to you I care? That others care? Could I spend hours playing and watching? Spend thousands on travel and tickets? Spend hours on tifo? Sing and jump for full 90 with sore throat and aching muscles?

3. Based on your assessment of the US it must be baffling to see them do better than a England or Portugal or Italy last year.

What is clear to me is so many people here and aborad are set in mentalities built up over decades.  You think very little of us, so be it.  I'll just enjoy the sport I love and my club and country with it.
