The Paris Olympic Games will get underway on Wednesday, July 24 as men’s soccer leads the way before the opening ceremony. For the first time since 2008, the United States men will be in the tournament but don’t expect to see stars like Christian Pulisic present. Led by Marko Mitrovic, the United States U-23’s will be the side taking part in this tournament as is the case with the me’s side. With 18-man rosters, flexibility will be key but there are replacements if any injuries are suffered.

Drawn into the same group as hosts France, while being pitted against teams like Argentina and Spain if they are to make the knockout stages the United States will need to show fortitude. Led by Walker Zimmerman, Miles Robinson, and Djordje Mihailovic as the overaged players in the squad, younger players will need to look up to their example to defeat teams who may be more talented on paper.
Here’s the schedule and standings for the men’s side of the Olympic Games:
