By AnnaGrace Hale | Sports Writer

On March 30, all United States soccer fans let out a deep sigh of relief as the U.S. men’s national team secured a place in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. After a haunting loss to Trinidad and Tobago on Oct. 10, 2017 caused the United States to drop its ticket to Russia for the 2018 World Cup, the return of the U.S. was long anticipated, yet never felt secure.

Now that this team has clinched a spot in this prestigious international tournament, what are the odds they find success?

To put it plainly, no one should expect the USMNT to win this World Cup.
