The highest placement the US men's team has ever achieved at the World Cup was 3rd (in the inaugural 1930 cup, from 13 teams).
In contrast, outside of the poor showing in 2023 where they failed to make the quarter-finals, the US women's team has always placed in the top three.

As a reminder for everyone saying, "The US had never before scored four goals in a World Cup" that they mean the men's team had never before scored that many.
The women's team has absolutely scored more than four goals in a world cup, including in the final.
And they also wins things.
