After seeing the way Germany basically dismantled all their other opponents, it's fairly clear the USMNT was the only team to give them a real scare, and their only opponent that could've just as easily won the Cup.

If only the USA had drawn Brazil in their quarterfinal match, no telling how far we could've gone. With US only losing by 1 to the eventual champion, I think it's safe to assume we would've beaten Brazil by at least 4 goals.

USA clearly going to be the Cup favorite in 2018. Who knows.....this soccer thing may work out over here after all.
