The United States U-23s are in the semifinals of the Concacaf Olympic Qualifying Championship, finishing 2nd in Group A following wins against Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic and a loss to Mexico last night. They await the winner of Group B, which could be Honduras or Canada, and the big date is Sunday evening, where a win will clinch a spot in this summer’s Olympics.
On the other side of the pond, the USMNT is playing in two friendlies: today against Jamaica and Sunday against Northern Ireland. As both teams seek to develop depth in the player pool, there are players on the U-23 team that could easily be in Europe with the senior squad, while the USMNT has plenty of players that could be a huge boost to the U-23s in their quest to become Olympians.
