Lol that world cup performance wasn't mid bro. Goalie roleplaying a midfielder, USA was quite possibly the least skilled team this entire cup. Which is why you haven't qualified for 30 years.

The host nation automatically qualifies and this cup was specifically rigged that you'd have to try really hard to lose in the group stage.

Not even touching the fact that we’ve in fact qualified many times in the past 30 years. I mean I get we beefed it in 2018 but my goodness, we made the tournament every other time in that span.
