Honestly, I hope we draw a tough team from Pot 1. I'm sure we will lose that game


OK, you're going to have to walk me through that thought process.

If we lose to Spain/Germany/Brazil. And a power with experience beats them, we are getting ourselves into a goal differential situation even if we beat the other two teams.

Pot 1 (power) 2-1
Pot 2 2-1
USA 3 2-1
Pot 4 0-3

If there is anything I know about the U.S., it's that I don't want to be in a tiebreaker situation. Goal differential isn't really our thing.

Perhaps, I am overthinking it. Obviously if we beat a Uruguay or Switzerland, we'd be in a great spot. I just am not sure how realistic that is.
