Not enough of them play against the best in the world on a regular basis. The American soccer league (MLS) is maybe the 9th or 10th best league in the world. In past years, the USA team had maybe three starters from the European leagues. Now there are five or six. They are in the ascendency.
Four years from now, they could conceivably make it to the quarterfinals.
As long as they qualify. They'll be fine unless they end up playing a real world beater, like Trinidad & Tobago.
