It's a very hot take, even if the US hasn't been in great form.

Here's the thing about the US group. While many US fans were celebrating it , I cautioned that it was much more difficult than it appeared.

It's a double edged sword. While there are no really good teams in the group, there also are really no weak ones either. Most groups have a "guaranteed 3 points" game. This one doesn't.

I find this group to be the most even group from top to bottom, so every match will be a real battle and anything can happen.

I still fancy the US to top this group, but them topping it and finishing last really arent that far off in terms of odds.
