The US is ranked 13th after Mexico, which is ranked 12th. Those are overratings as they both play so many easy to beat small countries in the Americas and Carribean. The US is 18th in the odds to win the whole thing. The US should easily qualify, but not have much chance of winning the whole thing.
We qualified last night along with Canada and Mexico. It wasn’t easy.
I always thought CONCACAF should merge with COMNEBOL, be a lot more interesting if you had to play Brazil and Argentina to qualify.
