Mapping out the United States’ Potential Route Through the World Cup

The United States has scored against one of the last seven 2022 FIFA World Cup-qualifying opponents they've faced. Gregg Berhalter's team played a bad 90 minutes against Japan and a more depressing 90 against Saudi Arabia. If there's a chance the USMNT will make it to Qatar 2022, we'll write an article about it.

The United States is not expected to qualify for the World Cup every four or four and a half years. The team has the youngest average starting XI age in their qualifying games at 24.9 years old. England's squad is the third-youngest. The USMNT is expected not to reach the group stage.

The United States are in a group with Brazil, Germany and Costa Rica. They have a 28.99% chance of finishing second and 29.10% of getting to the knockout rounds.

The United States have a 2-5% chance of making it to the last 16 of the World Cup. The situation for CONCACAF is worse. Costa Rica has Spain, Germany, and Japan in Group E, Canada has Belgium and Croatia in G.C. Mexico have Mexico, Argentina, Poland and Portugal in the same group. England is in a group with Iran and Wales. The United Sates have gone at least as far as the Round of 16 in four of last seven World Cups and four out of six of their last six.

The United States have a 45% chance of progressing to the last 16 of the World Cup. They could play the Netherlands, Senegal, Ecuador or hosts Qatar. The supercomputer favours a second-place finish.

The United States last reached the World Cup quarter-finals in 1998. Gregg Berhalter was 28 years old then. The last time the tournament was held in Asia, Berthalter played two matches. He was captained by Claudio Reyna. Beralter is now 49 and manages his nephew Gio Reynas. Argentina are the third favourite to win the 2018 World cup. They haven't been defeated in 35 matches and are unbeaten. Mexico could beat Argentina in the round of 16 and then play the U.S. in a quarter final. The U.,S., Mexico and Denmark could play each other in an all-CONCACAF quarterfinal.

The United States are playing in the 2018 World Cup. They are one of the favourites to win the tournament. Brazil and Spain are the other favourites. They have won the World Cups in their lifetime. There is an outside chance that the United states could change the footballing world as we know it by reaching the semi-finals.

France vs. USA is the match 64 in the Opta Million bracket. It's the final match of the 2022 World Cup.

There are three things that have happened with less than a 2.33% chance of happening in U.S. sporting history. The Indiana Pacers sinking four baskets in the final 13.3 seconds of Game 4 of the 1995 Eastern Conference finals to beat the Orlando Magic. Chris Wondolowski missing a chance in 2014 against Belgium that would have sent the U.,S., national team to the quarter-finals despite conceding 39 shots.

Chris Wondolowski missing a chance in 2014 against Belgium that would have sent the U.S. men’s national team to the quarter-finals despite going on to concede 39 shots.
