I think the USA has a decent chance but they can't give up the early goal as they have been prone to do. The bookies might have the edge to the USA but they are certainly underdogs playing the only African team left and they will be hard put to find their own supporters in a crowd of cheering Africans! The underdog role though will provide any impetus the USA needs and its a role they enjoy playing.

If this WC has shown anything though, I think that it has been a great lift to the entire African continent. I'd bet that by the next time around we see major progress from many of those nations.
