U.S. fails to qualify for Olympic Games in men's soccer after loss to Honduras

The United States men's soccer team will have to wait another three years to attempt to qualify for its first Summer Olympics since 2008.

The U.S. was defeated by Honduras, 2-1, in Sunday's Concacaf men's Olympic qualifying semifinal at Estadio Jalisco in Guadalajara, Mexico.

It is the second straight qualifying tournament in which the U.S. was knocked out of the Olympics by Honduras in the semifinals, and it will be the third straight Olympic men's soccer competition that will not include the U.S. The Olympic qualifying failure also means the USMNT has not played in a major tournament since the 2014 World Cup.
