Yeah, they have a better shot at making a run than the Netherlands, France, England, Italy, and Argentina IMO.

Their Top XI are admittedly raw in key areas but are about as talented as any other team in the world. They are in great form right now and have good chemistry. While Brazil are on an upswing, Spain are on their last leg and Germany remain largely unproven despite their talent and depth.

Not at all unlikely they make a run to the semis and it's plausible that they contend for the title.

They have the most points of anyone in UEFA qualifying, to just completely discredit them is naive. I don't think they'll win it all, but they'll be a team to watch

Croatia losing at home to Scotland is killing them. If they took care of business in that game, they would have a good chance to knock Belgium into a playoff.

Obviously Belgium is very talented, but I'd like Belgium's chances of making a run in the World Cup more if the tournament wasn't being played in South America.

Not to mention that they will be even stronger in 2018.

But not as strong as a Jozy Altidore/every other young American-led United States side.
