Well, one option is to ignore a few vocal posters with a strong anti-US bias and listen to someone who is at the world cup, has talked to maybe a hundred people from other nations about US Soccer, including a lot of Mexicans, and the overwhelming sentiment is "the US is playing very well, much respect, it is clear how things keep getting better, you guts are very legit and a tough match for anyone now".
In fact, when talking to randoms from other countries about our chances vs. Belgium, the consensus response after I say "we will need a little luck" is "no, I think you are playing well and have a great chance to beat them"
