US Soccer Betting Odds: After Group Play, How Far Can USMNT Go At The 2022 World Cup?

After surviving the group stage of the World Cup, the U.S. faces a much tougher test: the knockout rounds.

The next step for Gregg Berhalter's squad is a match on Saturday against the Netherlands in the Round of 16. Should the U.S. defeat the Netherlands, their next opponent would be the winner of Argetina vs. Australia in the quarterfinals.

In order to reach the World Cup final, the U.S. must win three straight matches.

How far can the U.S. go in Qatar? The odds suggest that the Yanks will be gone from the World Cup before the weekend is over.

The Netherlands are favored -215 against the U.S.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the U.S. has +380 odds to get eliminated in the quarterfinals. The U.S. ending their run in the semifinals has +900 odds.

It's been 92 years since the U.S. made it that far in the tournament. The U.S. finished third in the inaugural 1930 World Cup. Since 1990, the best finish for the U.S. was an appearance in the quarterfinals against Germany in 2002.

If the U.S. somehow reaches the World Cup final, it would be among the most surprising runs in the tournament's history. The U.S. has +3400 odds to lose in the 2022 World Cup final. The Yanks are +9000 long shots to win the title.

It's "win or go home" after group play. All draws after regulation will be decided in extra time and possibly penalty kicks in the knockout stage.

The U.S. tied Wales and England before beating Iran to finish second in the Group B standings. Heading into the start of the World Cup, the U.S. had close to even odds of advancing out of group play.

The U.S. entered the tournament as championship underdogs to Brazil, France and Argentina, among others.
