The U.S. Men’s National Team came into their Olympic quarterfinal match against Morocco as underdogs after their win over Guinea helped them secure a spot in the knockout round. However, Morocco proved to be too much for the U.S. Men’s Under-23 team. Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros discuss the U.S. Men’s National Team’s 4-0 loss that led to their elimination from the Olympic tournament.
