clearly.
to answer your quesion, we're 'decent.' Realistically, probably somewhere around 20th in the world. I do think we're capable of beating the best of the best, if we get a little bit of luck.
Getting out of the group stage is a realistic goal. Winning the tournament is not.

I'd say reaching the quarterfinals is possible.
I think we have good room for improvement before the world cup.

That's without even knowing the groups. I think it would be realistic for us to advance, even from the group of death. Plus we are still a whole year out.
ETA: with the right draw in the round of 16 I could see us finally getting over that hump again.

I probably sent the wrong signal in the OP, but there's not an ounce of fiber in me that thinks we'll even sniff at winning the tourney.
What I meant by "make a run " is simply getting out of pool play and winning at least a game. If we made it to the Quarters I'd be stoked.
I just want improvement, really. Just wondering if this team would be capable of such expectations.
