With a 3-0 win last night over Canada, the US U23 Men’s National team earned a spot in the finals of the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament. Honduras also qualified by defeating Guatemala in penalty kicks, 6-5, after a scoreless 120 minutes in regulation and overtime.
The final between the US and Honduras will kick off at 4 p.m. CT at LP Field and will be televised live on Fox Soccer Channel and ESPN Deportes.
The victory marks the 13th time the U.S. will get the chance to compete for a medal at the Olympic Games on the men’s side. The 2008 Beijing Olympics will be played from Aug. 8-24 in five venues, and will mark the USA’s first trip to the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament since 2000.
More details can be found on the US Soccer website and Soccer by Ives, who provided a game report.
