Bettors are willing to take a flier on the United States’ chances of winning the 2022 World Cup.
The U.S. men officially qualified for the World Cup on Wednesday night despite a loss at Costa Rica. The USMNT needed to lose by six goals to fail to qualify automatically for the World Cup and be forced into a playoff with New Zealand for a spot in the tournament.
This year’s World Cup will be the first for the USMNT since 2014 after the United States missed the 2018 World Cup. The U.S. finished second to Germany in Group G in 2014 and lost to Belgium in the Round of 16.
