    USA soccer teams misses making the olympics


    The U.S. men's soccer team won't make the Olympics after a crucial goalkeeping error in the closing seconds of injury time resulted in a 3-3 draw with El Salvador in qualifying

    Post if you don't care, didn't even know olympics had soccer. Not even a sport

    Good riddance. If a country of 300 million can't field a team to beat a tiny 3rd world country by 10 goals, stay home.

    tt you should have been the goalkeeper, usa would not concede throughout qualifying & then go on to win the gold. You would hardly have to move just sit down between the posts and you've got yourself an almost air sealed goal. Who the hell could score? Think about it tt - your country needs you.

    I'm an avid soccer fan and even I don't care about soccer at the Olympics. It is a youth tournament. Why? Because Olympics are always in the same year as the Euro championships, and that is much more important. Plus the Olympics is usually in August when the European leagues start playing.

    Europe has 4 teams in the Olympics, two are Switzerland and Belarus, and one is a "Great Britain" team that only exists for the Olympics. It's a joke.

    In reality, the US has a very decent soccer team, you should be proud.

    i am a US resident and don't get when most of my US friends say that soccer is not a sport. not because ur not good at something its not good. i hate this because they love nfl nba and mlb so much and to me it just more waste that soccer. a bunch of fat guys running around making millions and they don't even care if they win or not. i bet on all sports but i can't tell the last time i sit and watch a whole nfl, nba and mlb game. it is just a bunch of money grabbing fks, tv can't wait for a break in play to show some stupid ads. tell me who actually enjoy watching any american sports when every sec there is commercial.

    olympic football is pathetic anyways, why watch a bunch of u23 players when you have all the other sports on display... not that anyone really cares, us soccer doesnt bring out too much of a buzz unless its the world cup.

    When I lived in the US I had the same thing. Couldn't stand watching NFL and MLB. 10 seconds of action on the filed and the fukken time-out or some other BS-commercial break for a minute or two. 1 hour of actual play, but the game lasts 3-4 hours. I like NBA though even with those constant time-outs, like to watch it especially when the good teams are playing.
    Nobody pays attention to Olympic Soccer anymore. Money has done its job, everyone chases CL, nothing else matters right now. Even Europe League is treated very lightly by most of the teams.
