das rite. it's coming home
>>
>>155563209
well, it should be the strongest of the bunch other than maybe urgay
>>
>>155563174
Don't all the usual powerhouses have a Mickey Mouse path to the quarters as well? What could change the path for the US to make it more difficult, or was there already a missed opportunity?
>>
Rigged tournament to try to get the American youth into soccer. Fucking bullshit.

most likely outcome is belgium in Ro16 and spain in QFs but the image in OPs post intentionally misunderstands that by using current group standings because >le funny
>>

How is it rigged? We have to be one of the worst teams in the entire world at divegrass. It's near improbable that we're matched up against a country worse than us at soccer, let alone several in a row.

>Countries that play soccer as their sole major sport are somehow still worse at it than a country in which it's the 7th most played sport.
Can you thirdies please explain this
>>
>>155563174
So the next match, on 7/25, doesn't matter at all for us?
>>
>>155563174
aint no fucking way its this slop path, right???
>>
>>155563174
>OP
>is a retard
America are likely to get Belgium then Spain.
>>
>>155563174
It's comin home, y'all YEEEEEHAW
>>
How is the US winning their group over countries that live and breathe dive grass? This faggot sport is a joke
>>
this is USA's quarter of the bracket using the statistically most likely teams, with the next most likely in parentheses

>USA
>Bosnia (Qatar)
vs
>Belgium (Egypt)
>Senegal (Norway)

>Spain (Uruguay)
>Austria (Argentina)
vs
>Portugal (Colombia)
>Ghana (Croatia)

Reaching the quarters might be possible but we'd need a fuckton of luck to get to the semis
>>
>>155563452
lmao this. Eurabians seething ITT as if the US is some kind of historical powerhouse team.
>>
>>155563452
TRVKE
>>
>>155563461
not for advancement no, we've already mathematically won our group. however, we're playing turkey in LA, and hasan "king of the roaches" piker will probably be there, so we should still try to embarrass them and send them packing with no points and no goals scored
>>
>>155563452
>We have to be one of the worst teams in the entire world
Believe it or not, our team isn't bad. It isn't great, but they're ranked 17 in the world. It's B-Tier
>>
>>155563461
We beat the two teams that are playing that have 3 points each so we have the first tiebreaker with both of them (having beaten them)
>>
>>155563510
If we win the World Cup, it will kill the sport Alhumdulilah

>Argentina vs Portugal possible in the round of 16
Anon stop, please, I can only get so hard
>>
>>155563174
But Austria is going to beat Argentina so this doesn't make any sense.
>>
wait how do you know it's vs bosnia, don't they just pull the team out of a hat?
>>
>>155563174
Uruguay is much stronger than USA, but I won't be surprised if they get refballed.
>>
>>155563573
>they're ranked 17 in the world.
It simply shouldn't be this easy to be a top 20 team in the world in a sport you don't even take seriously. How the fuck is the rest of the world beneath the USMNT in these rankings?
>>
>>155563707
if they do, that would make this scenario more likely. group winner goes on the opposite side of the bracket.

>Round of 32

God, I hate this shit.
In 10 years we'll have Round of 64.
>>
>>155563717
there is a list of 495 different possible scenarios for which 8 groups have their 3rd place team advance.
which 3rd place team plays which 1st place team depends on which groups those 3rd place teams came from.
in 330 of the possible scenarios where group B is one of them, 329 of them have them face the group D winner.
right now the bottom 2 teams in group B are bosnia and qatar, both with 1 point each and playing each other in their final group stage match.
winning and getting 4 points basically guarantees advancing, which basically guarantees they'll face USA next.

idk where you got that from, this is the current projection
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/interactive/fifa-mens-world-cup-2026-tracker/group-knockout-bracket-projection/
>>
>>155563798
I don't think they'll get rid of the group stage
>>
>>155563830
they didn't do it by statistical outcomes but by current group standings which is turbogay
>>
>>155563273
It's almost as if the teams coming first in their group are being rewarded with easier ties.

Same old racket every time protecting good teams by pairing them with shit teams giving the shit teams no chance, what a fix.
>>
>>155563863
still, I think the US could be Bosnia but beating Belgium would be hard. And then in the quarter finals it'd likely be Spain lol
>>
>>155563174
there is no fucking way either us or new zealand will ever be in ro16

>>155563174
the first round of a knockout tournament is the most pointless shit ever

>>155563971
Yeah, no way you're beating Mexico at their own home.

Czech fucked up by not beating South Africa.
>>
>>155563174
So you admit we are better than all those teams?
>>
>>155563174
We don't care. But give us the trophy anyway, I want the rest of you to be unhappy.

This is retarded. Spain is almost definitely making it out from the top of theri group meaning the US is gonna meet either croatia or spain in the quarters.

It's not so much about the quality of the team as it is about having the advantage of playing at home. Consider Russia in 2018 topped the group stage, beat spain and were eliminated in the quarter when their ranking was 70th according to fifa prior to the start of the tournament. Pretty nuts I think.

Spain will destroy our defense most likely.but I feel good about a Croatia matchup. The english negroes completely outclassed them athletically and I think ours could do something similar.

rigging a home WC is based and tactical, why shouldn’t they deploy every possible advantage, thats part of the game now

>>155563294
I actually looked this up, apart from when they were at home in 1966 (which was rigged), England have never beaten a former world cup winner in the knockout stages of the competition.

You guys can definitely beat Belgium, those guys are FIFA ranking merchants, they are a step below real contenders.

Meanwhile we are truly fucked against England in Ro16, our only hope is for England to chocke to death up here.
