Taltarzac,
Are you limiting our lifetimes to 12 years? OUCH.

I think the women fared quite well because women's soccer around the world was just coming into its own and US women don't really have a lot of pro opportunities (ie: football, basketball, baseball, etc) and it just was a "perfect storm" for them.

The men's teams have the downside of the youth/pro sports still focused on the big 3 sports, plus the rest of the world has been developing men's soccer for decades.

So, that said.. I vote NO, not in the next 12 years. I hope, YES, in my lifetime LOL
