Not only that, but less points separate us from 11th than Mexico at 20 to us at 19.

Klinny has done a great job. Plus he has grown the talent pool to a point that the US looks good going forward. The addition of Aron Johannsson and John Anthony Brooks are great finds by him

Yeah I noticed that also. Another strong month, and we could easily move another 6 spots up.

That was an insane last 10 minutes in that game. If we had a decent defense we could actually make a legit push into top 10. Do we even have 1 of the back 4 spots locked down yet though?

We move to 12th with the points from that game. Doesn't work that way but that's the simulated result.

Forward through the midfield & goal i would say the US is a top 12-15 team in the world, but that back line sometimes just looks atrocious. Brooks has a lot of potential but he is young. the other three really don't have an excuse for how poor they play sometimes.
