The USA women already have lost to Norway in their Olympic opener, and the US men are preparing to go tonight.
Here's a report on the women's game.
And here's a look from Fox Sports at the challenges facing the USA teams.
Seattle Sounders’ goalkeeper Chris Eylander and midfielder Josh Gardner have been named to the USL Team of the Week.
(And speaking of Eylander, Mark Moschetti has a fine story at PNWLocalNews.com on his chances of being promoted to the MLS Sounders.)
Here's part of the USL release from the Sounders:
Eylander made seven saves in the Sounders 2-1 victory over the Puerto Rico Islanders on Friday night which gave Seattle its second straight victory in league play. Eylander was under pressure the entire game as the Islanders out shot the Sounders by a 12 to 5 margin. Eylander’s efforts turned back the Puerto Rico attack and allowed Seattle to end the Islanders five game win streak.
Josh Gardner netted the winner in the 60th minute of Friday’s match. The play started with Sebastien Le Toux receiving the ball on the right side of the 18 yard box and firing in a shot that hit the far post. Gardner collected the rebound and chipped it up over keeper Bill Gaudette for his fourth goal of the season.
Next up for the Sounders is a trip to Portland to take on the Timbers on Thursday at 8 pm (PT) in the final USL regular season meeting between the two rivals. Catch all the action on Fox Soccer Channel.
