"If we don't win versus Brazil, Uruguay, or Argentina, we already have the excuses lined up"

I see that one a lot.

And, um, duh. All three are better than the USMNT. Maybe Pulisic sneaks on he bench for Brazil, maybe Antonee Robinson.

"If we play Berhalter-ball we don't stand a chance."

Our chances of winning this tournament are pretty slim, with Berhalter in charge or with Ancelotti in charge.

"We are going to crash out in he QFs and everyone is going to say that it's fine."

If we crash out in the QFs, it's likely that we finished second in our group, and we played Brazil, so. yeah. No shame in finishing in second to Uruguay.

Maybe pessimistic but trying to bridal my expectations here.
