Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 4331451, member: 523"] The US was very close to making the semi's in 2002, should have actually. This up and coming squad is better than 2002. They just need a someone to step up and become a reliable goal scorer. Having the WC at home provides a huge boost to the host side. Winning is still unlikely but advancing in the knockout is certainly doable. Making a run to a semi or final is possible if they players continue to develop. The best player rarely wins the WC. How many to Messi, Ronaldo and Rooney have? It takes a team of really good players, playing well together, plus a bit of luck. I think there are 8 players who could fill the 1st bill by 2026. CP, both Robinsons, MMA, Reyna, and Matt Turner. If Dest can clean up his game, he is already there. [/QUOTE]
