That's what I'm predicting as well. I think the USA can make out of the group, but I'm not counting on anything else after that.

I'm not nearly as pessimistic as Augen, but Jurgen has certainly disappointed me.

After the worst Gold Cup I've ever witness the US play I think my pessimism is earned.  I always want the national team to succeed, but I think it is unreasonable right now to expect much given recent form.  

You watch the game last night? We completely dominated the second half. The 4-3-3 they showed was dominant and we deserved to win:

This what I think our First XI should be for the first game. Bradley at the 6 was too good, and Nagbe was amazing last night. The front 3 is the most debatable selections, but Zardes/Zusi are the other options at RW/RM and Bedoya is much better than both. I would rather have Wood on the field in his secondary position than on the bench. You could also put Pulisic aka. The Yung LD out there, but I'd rather he not start against Columbia.
