Editor’s note: The Fanpost of the Week article has come a bit late, but this one by our very own Justin Moran (aka kick swish) was great at breaking down the potential options for Olympic qualifying. The United States U-23s could go in a variety of ways!
When Jason Kreis named his 20-man roster for Olympic qualifying in March 2020, he named 15 players from MLS, 4 from Europe (Erik Palmer-Brown, Chris Gloster, Richy Ledezma, and Uly Llanez), and one from Mexico (Sebastian Saucedo). It’s generally understood that most European clubs aren’t willing to release players who get any sort of regular minutes for this competition.
