It amazes me how y’all consistently overrate our talent relative to the rest of the world. Look at the rosters of all of the top 8 teams except maybe Morocco and it’s obvious we’ve got a ways to go before we can say that getting to the knockouts is “not really that good.”

Even Morocco has some insanely good players. Making the jump to that next tier is going to be difficult. We probably need 40+ players who are at top level leagues playing consistently to reach that tier. Morocco is helped by the fact that their diaspora is mostly trained in France and the Netherlands, which adds to their player pool in a significant way.
