Alright lads, whether they be zealous adulations or dimly premonitions, it's time to get your predictions on record.

Given the lack of leadership on the sidelines, (and on the field), lack of WC experience, lack of chemistry with the so called 'system', and ongoing injuries, I'm seeing this as another rendition of the '98 WC. I don't see morale being particularly high, but somewhat directionless. I don't want to, but there are enough red flags that suggest otherwise.

Of course there's always hope, and I pray that I'm proved wrong, so let's not conflate one's reading of the tea leaves with his/her desired result.

USA 0 - Wales 1
USA 1 - England 3
Iran 0 - 0

You do realize that you've talked yourself into a corner regarding Gregg, right?

If they get out of the group, you have to give him credit based on how low your expectations are.

3rd or 4th in table. This was the wrong coach at a crossroads. So much young talent to work with but no system or one that highlights the talent pool. He was happy just to make the WC and cashed his checks.

My prediction is Jesse Marsh gets sacked and we hire him as USMNT coach the 2nd week of December

I don't know about scores, but I think we beat Wales and Iran.

England will be the big one though. Depends on what USA team shows up and how Gregg plays them...if he pulls a Gregg we'll lose. If he plays them how everyone else in the room sees them we have a chance.

I put in a few futures months ago. I have USA to qualify from group at +150 which was great odds since same book now has it at +100. I can still see us getting as many as 7 pts from group, but I’m not as confident after those WC warmup matches.

These are the other teams I bet to make it out of group:

Mexico’s been abysmal going forward so I’ve got Poland finishing ahead of them. Would be a really disappointing WC for any of the rest to not qualify for knockout stage.

Well wrong again, but correct we’ve only scored one goal so far in two matches because Greggggggggg loves him passes so much.

“He’s a tactical genius against England”….lolol

I'll eat my crow. Didn't think we'd get out of group stage. We did score 2 goals though, yipeee!

How else did some of you do?
