U.S. Olympic team finds a way to hold on & defeat Costa Rica 1-0 in qualifier

It wasn't pretty. In fact, it was ugly for long, long stretches but the U.S. U-23 team found a way to post a huge 1-0 win over Costa Rica. Coming into the game, most of the players haven't played a game in five months and the conditions in Mexico made that only harder, but Jesus Ferreira's goal and some qualify goalkeeping from David Ochoa secured the three points. ASN's Brian Sciaretta is here to break it down with his thoughts.

Cardoso aiming to boost the U.S. U-23 team in Olympic Qualifying

Since soccer returned from the COVID shutdown, Johnny Cardoso has enjoyed a steady rise. He enjoyed his first season as the professional level with Internacional, scored his first goal and earned his first two caps with the U.S. national team. Now he is ready for his first official international tournament as part of the U.S. U-23 Olympic qualifying team - which opens against Costa Rica on Thursday. ASN's Brian Sciaretta spoke with Cardoso on his journey to this point.
