It's not just the US, Brazil is 0-6 against European teams in the knockout stage of the WC since 2002
Yes, the US didn't play well but, in general, non-European teams can't seem to beat European teams in the knockout stage.
You take away Messi from Argentina and it gets way worse.
Wonder how much is driven by European leagues getting more successful and thus have more money to develop talent
