For group D, the UEFA playoff group has Turkey in it....
Might be a bit of a challenge. #25 ranking.

Looks like the fourth member of the group will be either Turkey, Romania, Slovakia or Kosovo

Fixed for Messi?

"Defending champion Argentina, likely led by Lionel Messi in a sixth World Cup appearance, were handed a kind draw -- opening against Algeria, before facing off with Austria and Jordan."

IDK.... Its a tough group but if Italy makes it through the playoffs you have a Group B of:

Canada
Switzerland
Italy
Qatar

3 very good teams in that group. Qatar is the weakest link.

We suck

USA ranked 14th, that's as big a joke as Morocco ranked 11th. Those rankings make the CFP committee look like rocket scientists.

We're not in too tough a group. I think we advance out of group play.
