On the one hand it was an epic choke. On the other hand, what is the point of Men's Olympic Soccer?

Someone brought this up earlier but the real loss is the extra training time and competitive games these guys would get to play together. Even if this team had made the olympics, they probably were not going anywhere given their struggles with Canada and El Salvador. From what I've read it seems like defense (no surprise) and some poor goalkeeping (big surprise) led to their demise.

On a positive not, there is plenty of talent in the pipeline, and Boyd could eventually be the striker the U.S. needs.

New USMNT, USWNT jerseys unveiled
The red-and-white hooped jersey making the rounds months ago is indeed the U.S. men's national team's new home jersey. It is the U.S. women's national team jersey, too.

For the first time, Nike has unified the kits for the United States men's and women's teams, U.S. Soccer revealed on Monday. The 2012/2013 jersey continues the use of a sash, just as the new road uniform for the men's team does.

The U.S. men's team's will debut the new jerseys in its friendly against Scotland on May 26 at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Fla. The women's team will wear the new jersey for the first time a day later, when it takes on China in a friendly at PPL Park in Chester, Pa.

The American flag is the jersey's inspiration. Red and white horizontal lines are complimented by a blue collar. A pre-sale for the jerseys will begin on April 17 at ussoccer.com. The kits will be available for purchase at stores starting May 1.

Saw a leaked photo of those kits before but it was not confirmed until now. Love 'em. I liked the blue away kits sported against Italy but these are the best. This may be the first jersey I ever buy. I'll also definitely try to attend the USMNT game against Scotland in Jacksonville, I live about an hour south of there now and would love to go.
