Olympics

If you’re a casual American soccer fan then you might be asking yourself, “Why is Pulisic not playing in Olympics? Where are the star players?”

This article is here to help. The 2024 Olympics will see some big-name countries like France, Argentina, Spain and the United States competing for gold. There will be a twist however as the recognizable names like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Christian Pulisic won’t be playing.

Why is Pulisic not playing in Olympics along with other big names?

Four-time Olympic soccer champions United States have put their disastrous Women's World Cup campaign in the rear view mirror, captain Lindsey Horan said on Monday, with young talent hungry to top the podium in Paris.

The Americans settled for bronze at the COVID-delayed Tokyo Games three years ago and captured their last gold in 2012.

They have pride on the line this time around after their worst showing at a Women's World Cup last year that saw them knocked out in the round of 16.

U.S. Men’s Olympic Soccer Team is here.

Head coach Marko Mitrović has defined the 18 players called-up for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

The squad ready to take on the first Summer Games for the United States since 2008 has been composed of young talents from MLS, Europe, as well as proved national team players ready to contribute their expertise.

The USMNT is close to losing a trio of talented prospects to their biggest rival.

USMNT to lose prospects Diego Luna, Brian Gutiérrez and Jonathan Gómez to Mexico

Diego Luna, Brian Gutiérrez and Jonathan Gómez, some of the most promising young prospects in U.S. Soccer, are close to officially choosing to play for the Mexican national team at the senior level over the U.S. men’s national team, despite representing the USMNT at the youth level.

The U.S. men’s national team is ready to take on the Summer Olympics once again after a 16-year hiatus… though apparently without getting paid.

U.S. men's Olympic soccer team will not get paid for 2024 Paris Olympics

According to Brian Sciaretta, the United States’ mens soccer team will not be compensated for their participation in this summer’s 2024 Paris Olympics. The USWNT, on the other hand, will.

The 18-player United States women’s national team roster was revealed on Wednesday and has caused controversy. Korbin Albert’s inclusion on the squad drew criticism from fans and was called out on a podcast with USWNT legend Sam Mewis.

United States women’s national team head coach Emma Hayes has selected her 18 players to compete for gold in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Manys fans were asking in the days leading up did Alex Morgan make Olympic roster for Paris?

No, she did not.

Here are the 18 players who will aim to win the USA’s first gold medal in women’s soccer since 2012.

USWNT Olympic roster

United States women’s national team head coach Emma Hayes oversaw her first two games in charge and now must make the 18-player Olympic roster. One topic being hotly debated is who to bring as the forwards?

Perhaps a more appropriate question is how many forwards to bring? The USWNT has an Olympic-sized swimming pool kind of depth in attack. With only 18 players set to be on the plane to Paris, the decision is cutthroat.

Hayes led the USWNT to 4-0 and 3-0 victories against South Korea earlier this month and utilized all her forwards across the two games. 

May 30 (Reuters) - Fans can expect a sharper United States women's national team with coach Emma Hayes on the sidelines for the first time, captain Lindsey Horan said ahead of Saturday's friendly with South Korea.

The U.S. are out for redemption after last year's disastrous World Cup campaign, eyeing the top of the Olympic podium in Paris this year with the former Chelsea manager at the helm.

Lindsey Horan — "You're going to see a lot of growth in the USWNT with Emma Hayes."

The men are ready to take on Paris.

U.S. Men's Olympic Soccer Team head coach, Marko Mitrović, has defined the 25 players called-up to the team’s training camp in June as the team prepares for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The U.S. will play Japan in their last preparation friendly on Tuesday, June 11 before taking flight to France.
