USA’s Route to World Cup Glory
There was optimism surrounding the USA’s chances when they were drawn in World Cup Group D alongside Australia, Turkey, and Paraguay. However, it is worth noting that their rivals will also be happy to avoid major nations that are higher ranked than the USA, such as Argentina, England, and Spain.
The USA’s route through the World Cup will largely depend on their group stage performances. You can find below the route for winning Group D and the potential most likely opponents:
- Round of 32: 3rd-Place Team from B/E/F/I/J (Senegal, Norway)
- Round of 16: Belgium
- Quarterfinals: Spain
- Semi-Finals: France
- Final: England, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil
A potentially tricky route to the final also awaits the USA if they finish as the runners-up. That path can be found below with the most likely opponents:
- Round of 32: Runner-Up Group G (Egypt/Iran)
- Round of 16: Argentina
- Quarterfinals: Portugal
- Semi-Finals: England, Brazil
- Final: England, Spain, France
Props Picks: How Far Will USA Go In The World Cup?
Much of the USA’s success this summer will be determined on their group stage performance. Finishing second in the opening round will likely leave them battling huge odds against
Argentina in the round of 16. Topping the group, and the confidence gained by achieving that will make the USA confident of reaching at least the quarterfinals. Therefore, that could be a standout selection at the odds available.
Meanwhile, we like the chances of the USA picking up seven points in the opening round. We can foresee the U.S. recording wins against Australia and Paraguay, while they may be held to a draw on MD3 against Turkey.
