00:00Now, also on Wednesday, there's going to be a match between the United States and France.
00:09Team USA right now is minus 240, excuse me, France is minus 240, Team USA is plus 600.
00:17How different is Team USA in the Olympics, Kyle, than they were when we just saw them
00:23in Copa America?
00:25Yeah, the U.S. does not have a history of performing well at the youth level.
00:32It's just not at the level yet that the youth system perform at the biggest stages.
00:39In fact, this is the first time in a number of years that the U.S. has qualified for the
00:44Olympics at the U-23 level on the men's side.
00:47So the roster isn't that inspiring.
00:50They had a number of players that got refused call-ups from their clubs.
00:54There was one very baffling decision that Diego Luna, who's playing very, very well
00:58for Real Salt Lake and MLS, was not included on the roster.
01:01We're not really sure why.
01:04I just don't expect them to perform well.
01:06They beat France in a friendly a few months ago, but that was a much weaker squad.
01:11They've got a number of strong players there.
01:13So I would expect France to take this, and I think it'll be tough for the U.S. to get
01:16out of the group, let alone perform at the knockout stage.
