The quality of football gets a bad rap because it is crappy quality.
I dislike the US and Mexican teams as a fan of the Canadian Nats but they are both very good international sides with results to match. Out of the group stage a combined 8 of the last 10 world cup attempts - they are better than the vast majority of national teams in Europe, both in FIFA rankings and in results.
