The U.S. will win a World Cup in the next 10 years

First question for you, Landon, will the U.S. win a World Cup in the next 10 years? [Landon]: Yes.

PredictionSoccerFire
The USMNT failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup and reached the Round of 16 in 2022. They have not won a World Cup within the window, though 2026 remains.

Jurgen Klinsmann will still be the U.S. coach in 2018

I do believe [Jurgen Klinsmann] will be the coach in 2018. I think there's been a lot of ups and downs during his tenure, but I think recently the team has looked better.

PredictionSoccerMedium
Klinsmann was fired in November 2016, just months after this interview, following poor results in World Cup qualifying.

LeBron James would be the best soccer goalie of all time

What athlete or actually, sorry, if LeBron James decided to play soccer instead of basketball, would he be the best soccer player of all time? [Landon]: I mean, he's still a little tall to be able to move the way he'd probably be the best goalie of all time.

This is a hypothetical scenario that can never be proven.
