What are your expectations for the USMNT in this next world cup cycle?

Get out of the group stage. 2026 - semis.

I have no expectations outside of qualifying and getting experience. Expectations will be very high come 2026 though.

They're going to be too high, IMO.

It's going to create some bizarre group stage results.

I really hate the layout of future WCs. Having more teams doesn't bother me, but

I doubt the three-game format lasts long.

16, Rest is gravy for USA.

The '22 team could be as high as QF with an easier draw, or as low as a group

The expectation is always getting out of the group.

Anything less than the quarters will be a disappointment. I expect a round of 16

We're still too young to expect the round of 8. WE look it way too often. 2026 is it.

1/14/22 12:46pm

Bah humbug. The talent on the current team could run laps around every past USA

The 2002 and 2010 teams could very well beat this one on a given day.

Round of 16

My expectation is round of 16, but quarters would be very attainable for them.
