No doubt about. It is a matter of time for USA soccer to explode in the big stage. It is bound to happen.

If they do, I would consider it a miracle.  The United States does not put as much emphasis in the sport as most of the country.  The resources available to the US National Team are not sufficient, in my opinion, to build a team capable of winning the World Cup.  They can do well, but it would be a surprise to me to see them past the quarter finals.

US needs to beat Ghana and have Italy beating Czech Republic.\nThis way, Italy will have 7 points, US 4, Ghana 3 and Czech 3.\n\nIf they beat Ghana and the other game is a tie, US ties the Czechs with 4 but, in that case, they are likely to be out, for having allowed 3 goals from the Czechs. They would only advance if they beat Ghana by 5 or more goals, then.\n\nThe same, if they beat Ghana and the Czechs beats Italy, but in that case, they would be tied with Italy, with 4 points.\n\nIf US does not beat Ghana, they are out.

Before todays game the position ware:\nItaly 3 points, Czech 3 points, Ghana 0 points, USA 0 points\nPending 2 games maximum 6 points to gain (3 points for the winner or 1 point for a draw), that means any posibility is posible (the teams with most points have less points that the points pending)\n\nAfter todays game the position are:\nItaly 4 points, Czech 3 points, Ghana 3 points, USA 1 points\nPending 1 game maximum 3 points to gain, that means any posibility is posible: any team adding the points could exceed the team with the highest point (given a specific combination):\n\nIf in the last game, one of these combinations happens then the teams that goes to the round of 16 will be:\nItaly win and will advance and  Ghana will advance if at least it has a draw\nItaly 7 points, Ghana 6 points, Czech 3 points, USA 1 point\nItaly 7 points, Ghana 4 points, Czech 3 points, USA 2 point\n\nItaly win and will advance and  USA will advance if it has a win (a draw is not posible)\nItaly 7 points, USA 4 points, Czech 3 points, Ghana 3 point\n\nItaly draw and will advance,  Ghana draw, then: Czech will advance with goal diference\nItaly 5 points, Czech 4 points, Ghana 4 point USA 2 points,\n\nItaly draw and will advance, Ghana win and  will advance: \nGhana 6 point Italy 5 points, Czech 4 points, USA 1 points,\n\nSo the odd needed for USA to have a chance to pass to the next round was the result of today, but next the USA needs to win against Ghana and Italy to win against Czech, because if Ghana wins or has a draw USA doesn't have any option to go to the next round.\n\nWhat would had happen if Italy had won today?\nIf Italy had won over USA, that would have mean: bye-bye USA and a trip to the round of 16 for Italy, because the positions would have been:\nItaly 6 points, Czech 3 points, Ghana 3 points, USA 0 points\nPending 1 games maximum 3 points to gain, that means any posibility is posible for all the teams excep USA, because adding the points to Czech and Ghana the result will be that Italy, Czech and Ghana all have 6 points, and we need to know the goal diference to define the winner and runner-up of the group.\n\nThat's way we have to wait for the outcoming of the next match to know who are the teams that go to the next round.\n\nCross your fingers .... and go USA

I think they are in a very difficult group, but definitely The USA has a chance of getting in the last 8 or 4 if they can overcome the first round, but hopefully for the they don't have to face Brazil early in the next round like they did in 1994. But who knows The USA can be the big surprise of this world cup.

They'll be lucky to get past the first round. Czech Republic has a strong team and Italy is out of the question. After watching the Germany game, I don't think they'll do well. The Us needs to stop playing friendlies against such weak opponents. All that does is raise false confidence.

The US has a tough group. With Italy and Czech Republic, two established and proven squads are expected to go through. Ghana is one of Africa's strongest and most unpredictable teams. Getting into the knock-out round would be a great result for the US.\nBest result ot hope for would be a 2nd place for Group E which means they will have to play the winner of Group F, Brazil. While the US Boys have vastly improved, that should be the end of their run.

The US played really good against Italy, they need to win and Italy needs to win for them to advance.  I think in this group, Italy and US will advance.

Of course I want to. They have skillful players. They will be definitely in quarter Finals. If the team wins there would be  a soccer uprising in Iran

If they do make it beyond the group stage, that alone will be a testiment to how U.S. soccer is improving. Many people are complaining about what a tough group the U.S. is in, and they are right about that - but this is a chance to show what they can do. With that said, will they make it? I'd give it a 30% chance.

It is Group E definitely.  I truly hope that it will be Italy and the US going through, but I think the Czech's will dominate and it will come down to goal differential between Italy and the US with Italy winning the differential.  It breaks my heart to have to admit it, but I don't think the US can get through.\n\nGroup C is a close second though.  The Ivory Coast may pull an upset and knock out a big boy like Argentina or the Netherlands and cause an upset in the group, though I don't belive the Ivory Coast will make it through.

They will make it to the best of 16 possibly the quarter finals. They have some talent and play well as a team but they are lacking that extra factor to move on further.

It would be a big suprise if they will be able to reach a quarter final

I honestly cannot see the USA winning this match. The sheer quality present in the Czech team should overpower the Americans. That said, there are some gems in the USA squad, but my bet is definitely on the Czechs.

Though the Americans are better then people might think, I can't see them going far. Although the yanks are ranked in the top 5, they drew a killer group. They have to win the group because if they finish second, they most likely will meet Brazil in the second round. They'll play fine but probably won't go passed the second round.
