With all due respect you're not as far advanced as say the FIFA rankings might have you believe. 10th best team in the world? No way.
Not to say that there haven't been considerable advances in the last 20 years or so, but it's extremely difficult to make the jump from a good team to a strong team - I'm not sure if the MLS is capable of producing the players good enough to perpetuate that advance. Some of the players who make it into Europe are decent and perform well but you'll need at least a whole team of them before the US is truly taken seriously (not that you aren't now, it's just that a lot of people are mindful of the fact that it's not the #1 sport by a long way, whereas for the majority of other countries football is undisputed as the #1)
