They have to get there first. My money's on Bosnia to knock the USA out of their own World Cup, two days before America's birthday.

Argentina vs Cape Verde is like Arsenal vs Talbot Road Primary School 3rd XI reserves.
The current record for most goals in a full international match is 31-0, set by Australia when they beat American Samoa in 2001 at Coffs Harbour, as part of the qualifying campaign for the 2002 World Cup finals. Archie Thompson scored 13 goals, which is the record for a single player in a single match.
Sweden holds the record for the largest win in the knockout rounds of the World Cup, for their 8-0 victory over Cuba back in 1938.
There are only about 47,000 Cape Verdean men aged between 18 and 35, so about one in every 2,000 of them are in the World Cup squad.
Argentina are going to get slaughtered.

It would be so devastating if that happened, I might need a nap.
There’s also the disincentive to root for any American team - even if USA swept the entire tournament, Trump would take credit for it.
It’s already corrupt enough.
