The US U-23 group accomplished position of third in CONCACAF Olympic in October 2015. The US has managed their gathering with a 3-0 scores, including wins over Canada, Cuba and Panama. At that point the US U-23 group lost a champ goes to the Olympics Semi-Final against Honduras 2-0. The amusement was in Sandy, Utah. They then beat Canada 2-0 for the privilege to make the playoffs against a CONMEBOL delegate.
Colombia games record
Colombia completed second in the 2015 South American Youth Championship, a ten group competition for the U-20 age gather that was held in Uruguay from January fourteenth – February seventh, 2015. Argentina won the competition for a spot in the Olympics and Brazil qualified as the host taking one of CONMEBOL’s two programmed spots, Colombia met all requirements in the playoffs against the third place CONCACAF group by completing a second. There is no committed U-23 Olympic Qualifying competition in CONMEBOL, consequently the U-20 age bunch meets all requirements for the U-23 competition 18 months before the Olympics.
Jordan Morris drives the assault, he is very mainstream around these parts. Tyler Miller was a late expansion to supplant the harmed Zack Steffen. Here is the whole program:
GOALKEEPERS (3): Ethan Horvath, Cody Cropper, Tyler Miller
DEFENDERS (8): Matt Miazga, Kellyn Acosta, Eric Miller, Desevio Payne, Tim Parker, Shane O’Neill, Walker Zimmerman, Brandon Vincent.
MIDFIELDERS (9): Paul Arriola, Fatai Alashe, Luis Gil, Jerome Kiesewetter, Emerson Hyndman, Julian Green Matt Polster, Dillon Serna, Wil Trapp.
FORWARDS (3): Jordan Morris, Mario, Khiry Shelton, Rodriguez .
USA is nowhere back in the race
Sort of, yet not by any means. DeAndre Yedlin and John Brooks are both age qualified for the Olympic group. US Soccer Technical Director Jurgen Klinsmann has chosen to ring those players to the full national group that plays a World Cup Qualifier in Guatemala later today (there will be another game thread for that), they without a doubt would be starters on this group.
Colombia is great. Completing second in a CONMEBOL youth competition is a major ordeal. In any case, youth competitions are famously difficult to foresee and Colombia does not have a committed U-23 Olympic group, this squad does not look like the group that completed second in that competition as they have picked a more experienced group than the U-20 one. Here is the program:
GOALKEEPERS (3): Cristian Bonilla, Alvaro Montero.
DEFENDERS (9): Yerry Mina, Cristian Borja, Jaine Barreiro, Deiver Machado, Luis Orejuela Felipe Aguilar, Helibelton Palacios, Jherson Vergara, Luis Orejuela.
MIDFIELDERS (8): Juan Pablo Nieto, Yony Gonzalez, Juan Fernando Quintero Raul Loa, Wilmar Barrios, Jose Leudo, Andres Felipe Roa, Jarlan Barrera.
FORWARDS (5): Rafael Santos Borre, Roger Martinez, Harold Preciado, Cristian Dajome, Andres Renteria.
