IMO, if the U.S. makes an impact at the WC level, it's not going to be because of individual play of the likes of Freddy Adu. (Though I do wonder if someone like Eddie Johnson might make a surprise impact a la Baros in Euro 2004.) It's going to be because of team play.

But in reality individual brilliance is the key for success; one fantastic touch by a classy player can change the face of a game. The more of those players we have, the more likely we are to succeed IMO.
