(Michaela Rehle/Reuters)The United States took only one of a possible six points from two recent 2018 World Cup soccer qualifiers, leaving the campaign in limbo with two matches left. Argentina, the 2014 World Cup finalist, is ranked No. At the moment, that collection includes Euro 2016 champion Portugal and four-time World Cup winner Italy. They have never qualified for the World Cup, played in the Olympics just once (1980) and never advanced beyond the first round of the Asian Cup. No automatic World Cup berth, however.
