Norway is the best bet to win the World Cup at 25-1 odds

I would put all of my money, Big Cat... on I love Norway, man. Norway, they've not been in the tournament for a generation. They've got a talented squad... Erling Haaland... is that man... With him leading this talented squad... ninth best odds... Norway best bets to just impulsive man.

The US Men's National Team will win the 2026 World Cup

[Are we going to win the World Cup?] You bet we are. Why not? I'm eternally optimistic as a US soccer fan... the World Cup's gonna be here and in Mexico and Canada. It's fun to root for America.

The Mauricio Pochettino hire is a grand slam for US Soccer

In soccer terms, it's a grand slam... It's a grand slam touchdown of a hire. I think it's safe to say that this will be a big disappointment if we don't get to the quarterfinals [of the World Cup].

Pochettino is objectively one of the highest-profile managers the USMNT has ever hired. The 'disappointment' aspect is pending the 2026 World Cup.

The USMNT needs to win at least one knockout game in the World Cup

I think it's safe to say that this will be a big disappointment if we don't, I think disappointment would be losing in the knockout round. I think that we need to win at least one knockout round game. I think we should get to the quarterfinals.

The USMNT should reach the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup

I think our ceiling is probably the semi-finals at the very best in the next World Cup... Quarterfinals in the World Cup. And we've got a good enough team. The players are good enough to do it.

The USMNT must reach the World Cup quarterfinals in 2026 or it is a massive disappointment.

I'm still, I'm staying my prediction that we need to make it, if we don't make it to at least the quarter finals in the next World Cup. Massive disappointment.

The next US Men's National Team World Cup cycle will be a failure if they don't reach the quarterfinals.

Next world Cup. It's our year. If they don't get to at least the Elite eight... I'm sick of it. That's it. They need to get to the quarter finals. If they don't then it's a failure.

The US Men's National Team will win the 2026 World Cup because of Folarin Balogun

We got a big defection... Folarin Balogun. He's on the arsenal, he's on the arsenals and he's a striker. And we don't have a striker... so it's coming home 2026. Hell, yes. Way to go, dude.

I guarantee a USMNT World Cup championship in 2026

This is mission accomplished. It's a win. Anything else on top of that is gravy. We won the World Cup today by advancing outta the group stage because it was never supposed to be us this year anyways. In 2026, that's when the boys spread their wings and become a butterfly. And that's, I'm guaranteeing personally a United States World Cup championship in 2026.

The United States will win the World Cup in Roger Bennett's children's lifetime

The America will be world champions... in your children's lifetime.

The USMNT has never won a World Cup; the furthest they've gone in the modern era is the Quarterfinals (2002).

The US will win the World Cup in 25 years because Cristiano Ronaldo's son is an American citizen

Cristiano Ronaldo's son is now playing for Juventus under nine. And he was born in San Diego, so he's an American citizen. He's like the Johnny Appleseed for the future of U.S. soccer. We just need Cristiano Ronaldo to impregnate just as many women as possible... in America.

The US did not win the World Cup 25 years from this date (approx 2043), and Ronaldo Jr. has not yet reached professional age to impact the USMNT.

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.

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.
