regarding the USA team, if they have their eyes on 2018, they should try to have the team relocated to a more competitive qualifying zone, as central american teams (mexico excluded) do not have very competitive teams, and canada... do they even play?
I think some teams end up in the world cup more as a result of the lack of merit of the other teams than their own skills. (in past WC it was the case of saudi arabia, costa rica and a few more cases, now we have iran and honduras)
