A cursory look at the roster for the United States men's national team reveals that the core of the squad has not only played together for a long time, but that they are consistently performing at a high level in their domestic leagues.
Nope, they must stay positive & hope for the best, but i higly doubt they'll pass the Quarterfinals stage.
