USMNT has by far the easiest path to the semi-finals
Ghana, then the winner of South Korea/Uruguay
Compare that to:
England (Germany, Argentina), and vice versa with Germany
Argentina (Mexico, Germany/England), and vice versa with Mexico
Groups E-H have the top five teams in the world, according to FIFA.
I'm not saying they will actually make the last four, but the path could not have worked out more favorably.
