Sunday was a day of supreme disappoint for American soccer fans. That afternoon, the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team fell to Honduras in the semifinals of the Concacaf Olympic Qualifying Championship. By doing so, the U.S. failed to reach the Summer Olympics for the third straight cycle.
The setback served as the centerpiece of a fascinating discussion between Sporting Kansas City defender Graham Zusi and Border Patrol hosts Nate Bukaty and Todd Leabo this morning on Sports Radio 810 WHB.
Zusi, a longtime U.S. national team player himself, provided context and insight surrounding the Americans’ recent performances in qualifying and major tournaments.
