Former USMNT goalkeeper Tim Howard has poured cold water on the team's World Cup hopes, saying that it is "literally impossible" for them to win the tournament. The statement comes as a shock to fans of the team, who have been optimistic about their chances after a strong start to the competition. However, Howard's comments are a dose of reality, and he is not alone in his assessment. As one of the most experienced and respected goalkeepers in the world, Howard's opinion carries weight, and his comments will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike. The USMNT will need to prove Howard wrong if they are to make a deep run in the tournament, but for now, they will be focusing on their next match and taking it one game at a time.
