    Soccer probably the most corrupt sport there is and also at those odds for what is going to be a crazy amount of money bet on the US to win it all. Not one chance

    to advance they should realistically advance

    Not a snow balls chance in hell. USA men's soccer has always sucked and continues to suck.

    They will be lucky to get out of the first qualifying round.

    I wouldn't take 1,000-1; just put your money in the toilet and flush, much less stress.

    American kids grow up playing Football, Basketball and Baseball. We don't go around kicking a little round ball on a big grass field without using our hands like a jerk off.

    We import foreign soccer players now in our American soccer leagues. Our home grown American soccer players are pure garbage. This is why USA men's soccer teams are trash in every world cup we enter.

    Did a quick run through of the last two tournaments for fun...
    There were only 9 draws out of 48 group stage matches in each of the last 2 WCs.

    24 of the 48 had 2 goals or fewer in 2018. 17 out of 48 in 2014.

    They can't beat teams like Brazil, Argentina, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, etc who can keep possession of the ball due to the players skills. US players do not have the same technical skills as these countries.

    Landon Donovan is making a speech to the team before their first game. He pumps them up and he gets emotional. Wales probably beats them.

    the amount of people in the US betting the US domestically must be super high. all of these novice bettors throwing $10, $20, maybe even $50 for fun now cause "Go USA". books will make a nice profit.

    155 billion dollars was bet on the 2018 WC, largest betting sporting event globally, compared to about 7.5 billion on last years SB

    Super Bowl is a single game. Yes WC is bigger worldwide but you're comparing apples to oranges. May as well compare the WC final only to the SB.

    To expand, I read where the SB and WC (final match only) were bet pretty much the same.
    Then again I've read different numbers from different sources so I don't know what to believe.

    Opti would know.
