LWSC Radio: Rescheduled Olympics Impacts on USWNT/USMNT

rescheduled Olympics uswnt

Podcast – What’s up Internet? This week on Last Word SC Radio, Matt and Rachael are back with some actual soccer news. We discuss the rescheduled Olympics as the 2020 Summer Olympics will now take place in 2021. This could impact the older veteran USWNT players as well as how much time the younger players have to adjust.

LWSC Radio: How the Rescheduled Olympics Will Impact the USWNT and USMNT

We discuss the impact on the USMNT as well. With the U-23 roster rules, several key players for the Men’s Olympic team will be too old to participate per the rules unless they take up one of the overage roster spots. Then there’s the issue of the Gold Cup next summer, meaning the federation, Jason Kreis, Gregg Berhalter, and the players’ club teams have some decisions to make.

We discuss all of the above and come up with some solutions and hypothetical ideas.
