Yeah, I agree and it’s hard to think of what the chances really are, of any way to quantify them with an analogy from another sport.
The US was ranked 16th going in, though today we saw them play well for a half but come away looking inferior to Wales, who was 18th I think.
If we managed to advance to the knockout stages we’d need to win four games in a row against teams that would probably be greatly superior to Wales.
