Concacaf unveiled the preliminary rosters for the men’s Olympic qualifying tournament set to take place in Guadalajara, Mexico next month, and four LA Galaxy players have been called up across three countries.
But wait, because it’s a little more confusing than that. Actually, one player, midfielder Efrain Alvarez, has been called up by both Mexico and the United States, an extraordinary development that meant Concacaf had to carve out a paragraph about the situation:
In the preliminary rosters submitted by Mexico and USA both member associations have named the same player (Efrain Alvarez). The player has previously represented Mexico in official youth competitions.
