Olympics is U-23 but you're allowed 3 players over 23. Generally olympics

would be a lower class of soccer than Gold Cup. USA chose to not go with A players for Gold Cup because our really good, young group of players in Europe could use a training camp with their teams since some of them are vying for going for starting positions. Extended playing time in professional teams is crucial for staying in good form for International soccer. So Berhalter let them stay with their pro teams. I think the benefit of what our B players just did will be huge because it will provide us better international depth in the long run.

Men's soccer only allows 3 members to be above U23 at the Olympics -- hoosnowahokie 08/03/2021 4:11PM

Well, to be fair, our full "A Team" didn't try to qualify. -- vthokieq 08/03/2021 4:19PM

Mexico Gold Cup is the A- team. The International Cup was their A+ team. -- jdkhokie 08/03/2021 3:22PM

I think their gold cup team was A or A-, olympics is their B+ team. -- Fatman 08/03/2021 3:06PM

Not necessarily -- vthokieq 08/03/2021 2:48PM

If you mean Olympic team the answer is yes and no -- RTFC 08/03/2021 2:47PM
