Last USMNT match until the MLS All Stars try to win the Gold Cup next month, so really the last time we see the real USMNT until September.

I think the win vs Mexico brought us up to #17 in the FIFA rankings.

Where do we need to be to get into pot 1 for the WC? Or is that not a thing any longer?

I think pot 1 is almost impossible. Would need to get around #7. #17 MAY be enough for pot 2.

#18 was the lowest ranked team in pot 2 for 2018.

In 2018, the top 7 ranked teams + Russia (65) were in pot 1. The next 8 teams were in pot 2. Croatia was the lowest team at #18 (#9, 14, and 15 did not qualify). Pot 3 was #19, 21, 22, 25, 28, 30, 32, 34. Pot 4 was #38, 41, 43, 44, 48, 49, 62, 63.

Thanks for looking all that up

If we could squeeze into pot 2 that would be dope.

#7 in the FIFA rankings. The position that we would likely need to get to in order to be in pot 1 for the World Cup draw.

That's not happening

I wonder which teams ahead of us right now are not going to qualify. That would give us a good idea of how we stand.

I said that, although the Mexico win gave us ~24 points.

Pot 2 is a very feasible goal.

For tonight’s game, I would expect Ochoa to play the whole game, right? Horvath only as an emergency option. Steffen is being held out as a precaution and Miazga is already gone for his wedding week, and I can’t imagine they play Adams.
