If you’re an American fan and you don’t know what to do with yourself right now, it’s understandable. The United States men’s national team has never been in this spot before.The USMNT beat Australia 2-0 on Friday for its second straight win at the 2026 World Cup. In both wins, the Americans got an early lead and were up by multiple goals at halftime.It’s the first time since 1930 (the first World Cup) that the U.S. has won two games in a row in the competition. It’s only the third time the U.S. has won its group (1930, 2010). They’ve also never won a group with a game to spare before.So, now that the U.S. has secured its spot in the knockout stage as group winner, how far can this team go? While Zlatan Ibrahimović is on TV saying he thinks this team can win the World Cup, the odds say that’s still a long shot chance (note he said “can”, not “will”). It’s not as long as it used to be, though.The Americans are currently listed at 28-to-1 (implied odds of 3.45 percent) to win the World Cup on BetMGM, 33-to-1 on FanDuel and 35-to-1 on DraftKings. That puts the U.S. among the top 11 teams on the title oddsboard. That’s also a massive move from 60-to-1 on FD and DK and 40-to-1 on BetMGM from when the tournament started.The Athletic’s World Cup forecast gives the U.S. a 2 percent chance to win it all. That’s a bit less bullish than the odds, but there is no denying that the team’s stock is still up.
