I do not hear anyone making excuses. I think the reality is the WC is not a major concern no more than the World Cup is thought of in Soccer in this country. If it was, all the best players in this country would be knocking each other over to get on the team. Instead many of the better players take the time off.
Even with winning the Bronze medal, no one is jumping off a cliff because we did not win the Gold. The novelty wore off when the USA was dominating in Seoul and a few years after that. To many of these other countries this is a big deal. Not sure how that will change, but they get their best players every tournament and we have to decide who is not coming rather than whom to leave off the team.
Peace
