Premier League starts a week after the Olympics do, MLS runs throughout it. Combine that with the Copa America, the Euros, and the USWNT at the Olympics, and I can live with a summer international tournament that I don't need to watch.

What was close to a u23 team in the World Cup won every game by like 20-30 points 11 of 12 under 27 10 of 12 under 26 7 of 12 under 25 3 under 23
