The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which "unskilled people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it." The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average.

I'll be afraid when the US gets knocked out of a World Cup after losing to Mexico 2-0.
Exactly.

Financially, Mexican football is a juggernaut (I read somewhere that it was 1 of the top 3 money makers for FIFA -- the other two England and Brazil) and while fans are constantly complaining that all this capitalist success is at the expense of the game, 2 U-17 titles in 6 years speaks well of the work being done at the junior level.
I don't think the U.S. has to worry about anything other than developing its own program; on the flip side, I think that the US' growth has had a positive impact on Mexico. It's forced Mexico to grow from being the team that's content on picking on the banana republics in the region (and those gringos and canadian gringos "that don't even like soccer") into a team that's competitive, aggressive, has an attitude, a certain je ne sais FUA and isn't intimidated by going down in the scoreline.
ps. I'm pretty sure of three things right now:
1. Mexico has a good crop of raw talent for at least a decade -- what's done with them is a different story,
2. Unless the US can pry the 2022 WC from Qatar, Mexico WILL host a World Cup in 2026, and
3. A Mexican will be the next president of CONCACAF.
