* odds as of 7/15/24
On the USMNT side, the team's poor showing this summer has left fans wondering if the next big tournament will yield a more favorable outcome.
Since the Group Stage was introduced in 1975, the United States is the first host nation to fail to reach the Copa América knockout stage.
As a result of the team's disappointing showing in Copa América, Gregg Berhalter is now out as the USMNT head coach.
Additionally, the team's current odds to win the World Cup moved to +3000 from +2500 after getting ousted at Copa and Berhalter's dismissal.
In the wake of his firing, U.S. Soccer Sporting Director Matt Crocker put emphasis on targeting a 'serial winning coach' to replace Berhalter.
"Winning is the yardstick, and we didn't do that," Crocker said.
"We are looking for a serial winning coach and a coach that can also build on the work that has already been put in place. Clearly, there's still a lot of potential in the group and we have to turn out the performance and results, so that's what I'll be looking for and that'll be my absolute No. 1 priority.
In February, FIFA released the dates and locations for the 104-match tournament, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The US Men's National Team has group stage matches:
– June 12, SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California
– June 19, Lumen Field, Seattle
– June 25, SoFi Stadium
The semifinals will be at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on July 14 and at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on July 15.
France is a co-favorite on the board at +600. Les Bleus were one of the youngest teams at the 2022 tournament and boast the best young star in the game in Kylian Mbappe. When you factor in that they had numerous key players out for injury in 2022, it's no surprise that they are now near the top of the board.
Brazil is the third co-favorite to take home the Cup, on top of the oddsboard at +600 to win it all. After being derailed by injuries in 2014, 2018 and 2022, Neymar will be focused on his own Messi-like mid-30s redemption story. Or will he? Neymar himself said his national team future is cloudy. Either way, The Seleção will be loaded, but they need their younger talent to step up to get back on the podium.
Defending champion Argentina is fifth on the oddsboard at +800.
Star Lionel Messi, after moving to MLS to play for Inter Miami, has not committed to playing in 2026. He did suffer an injury during Argentina's win over Colombia in the Copa América final. Will that cloud his 2026 World Cup status is even further?
La Albiceleste will return young talent such as Julián Álvarez and Enzo Fernández, so with or without La Pulga, Argentina will still be a force to be reckoned with.
The USMNT at +3000 has long odds but a few things are working in their favor. Wales, England and Brazil were played to draws this year, and the Americans will have home-field advantage for the first time since 1994.
