Is the US Olympic soccer coach the interim USMT coach then? Is this our main A squad or a younger group?
It’s our U-23 team w/ three overage players. We chose two center backs with big game experience (Miles Robinson and Walker Zimmerman) and a center mid in Djordje Mihailovic. Different manager.

So the goal today, as France is considered the #1 contender, is probably a draw?
Probably only a few of these players will end up being regulars on the senior men's team
Just realized that the US U23 manager is Marko Mitrovic, former assistant coach of the Chicago Fire. The breakout young center midfielder for the Fire during his tenure?: current US Olympic starter Djordje Mihailovic.
Reminiscent of Pulisic against England. Inches from goal of the tournament contender. WOW!
If we play as well as a team in the next two matches as we have against the tournament favorites here, we will be okay.
Maybe tough for 69 minutes, but it's fallen apart now that legs are tired. France up 3-0 now isn't a good sign.
Oof. Well, we can’t defend set pieces like that. Did well for 75 minutes only to be embarrassed in the end.
We’re in the group of death in rugby sevens. Would be very, very fortunate to get to the quarterfinals.
If population carried any weight in sports, India and China would dominate all sports for the infinite future. Since it doesn't, then we take a loss to a country that's main sport is rugby.
Fiji won gold the last 2 Olympics
And we tied France, a large, host nation who just happens to be the current world champions in rugby sevens. We are in good position to get to the quarterfinals there.
What a match for the US against the current Rugby Sevens world champions! Listen to the French boo birds at the end (required you to click on the link):
USA vs Uraguay at 8 AM tomorrow morning on USA Network for a shot at the quarterfinals.

They put some $1.5B into cleaning up that river. Better only be partially filled.
Paris Mayor Swims In Seine Amid Pollution Concerns—Here’s Why Olympic Events Could Be Canceled
The city’s water supplier has warned of E. Coli in the river in the weeks leading up to the Olympics.

From the article "Public swimming in the Seine has been banned since 1923, after officials determined the water was unsafe, " but good luck Olympians!
It always "bottles" my mind that the games start before the opening ceremony
