It's insane that we have to deal with these cases at all, but a great day at the court for the USA.

Five star composite prospects from Louisiana over the years that signed with LSU.
2026: 2/2
2025: 1/1
2024: 2/2
2023: 1/2 (Manning)
2022: 0/1 (Matthews)
2021: 1/1
2020: 1/1
2019: 2/2
2018: 1/1
2017: N/A
2016: 3/3
2015: 1/1
2014: 2/4 (Cam Rob, Noil)
That's 17/21 five star composite prospects since 2014 that went to LSU. 81%. An insanely high clip. Saying that there's not an advantage relative to other states is absurd.

I played around with the NYT machine, see above. Senegal US would require a very, very narrow path and even then it's less than 50/50.

Out of the two, are we paired with the opponent that earned fewer points (Senegal 3 points) or the opponent who earned more points (Bosnia 4 points)?
It is almost a certainty we're playing Bosnia.

Watching the matches, definitely would rather Bosnia out of all the potential matchups.
I'm not a "soccer guy", but I was thoroughly unimpressed by both Bosnia and Qatar. Looked slow and uninspired in a must win game.

If Japan loses 1-0 would they supplant Bosnia as the most likely RD32 opponent for the USMNT?
No
Still >99% Bosnia per the models
The path to get Senegal requires
1. Ecuador over Germany
2. Japan over Sweden
3. Senegal over Iraq
4. Urugay win/draw against Spain
5. Iran win/draw against Egypt
6. Croatia win/draw against Ghana
7. Congo win against Uzbekistan
8. Algeria draw against Austria
And that only gets you a 40% chance. And all of those criteria must be met.

Egypt now in driver's seat
Potentially looking at winner of Qatar/Bosnia in R32, then Egypt in R16.

Team USA interest and NHL interest are very different things. People jump in for international competitions. See Team USA in world cup.

There's zero reason not to take a flyer on a player with these traits in state.

Also, if Egypt win tonight, then beat Iran, they win the group, so we’d face off with them in round of 16.
Yep definitely my rooting interest. Even if they look awful right now I don't want any part of that Belgium roster early in the knockout.
