Why are some of our best players not on the Olympic soccer team ??

Question

No Landon Donnavin-Eddie Pope-Beasly- Why all the new faces?

Answer 1

Pope is retired.  Beasley needed to be with Rangers.  Donovan is training with the full national team for our world cup qualifier on the 20th.  Also, you are only allowed 3 players over 23 in the Olympics.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

two main reasons 1: you can only have 3 over 23 players in your olympic team and 2: the club who the player is contracted to only have to release player under 23 to play at the olympics

Answer 3

because of the u-23 rule sucks i know! but you get to see some new talent at least.

Answer 4

they all answered the question.
