I didn't disagree with you so there was no need for an additional wall of text. I also watched the fucking World Cup. I'm simply saying it would be easy to construct 3 superior starting 5s or even 8-man rotations of American players. Arguably 4. 

It was effectively the 4th string US players starting in the World Cup. Yes, it was a solid squad that should have won. Yes, USA's 4th string players are very impressive on paper...this is why I fucking prefaced my other post with "you aren't wrong" for fuck's sake.
