Herzog ready for different game in Olympic qualification second leg

The United States U-23s are ready to leave Friday's first leg behind them when meet Colombia with Olympic qualification on the line.

FRISCO, Texas — Andi Herzog believes Tuesday's second leg of the intercontinental playoff between the United States and Colombia that will decide the final team at the Olympics will be very different from the first leg.

The United States U-23 manager fell back on the phrase several times.

"It’s a completely different game," Herzog said at a news conference Monday. "On the other side, Colombia, like I said in the first game, they have some quality playing up front and we have to do the same good job defensively, but I think we have to create more chances to score.
