U.S. men's soccer qualifies for Olympics for 1st time since 2008

U.S. men's soccer is back in the World Cup, and now it's back in the Olympics.

The United States men punched their ticket to the 2024 Olympics in Paris on Friday with a 3-0 win over Honduras in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Under-20 championship. It is the first time the team has qualified for an Olympics since 2008, when they failed to make it out of group play in Beijing.

The American men got on the board early with a goal by Paxten Aaronson, a midfielder for the Philadelphia Union, in the third minute.
