I'd make a bad evil hun horde member in any case. I imagine that pillaging and such is only fun the first few times, then it's just work like everything else. If the USA wins against Ghana then your next opponent is either England or Germany. It's slightly annoying. I could make a number of jokes that build on this constellation but all would require that I'm confident that Germany wins against England. Which I'm not.
