I've seen the same thing in other sports, when you have a fairly good player who's never going to compete well at the higher level you're striving to reach. You have players with higher ceilings, but you're not sure whether they're ready yet. So you keep playing the guy, and he doesn't hurt you most of the time. The US doesn't have enough talent on the pitch to get far with questionable GK.
