Time to turn to you, my fellow fans, for the information that I can't find. I am trying to find the names of the players on each of the USA Men's Olympic teams. In particular, I am looking for the players in the 1996 Olympic squad for the men. I've gone to US Soccer, FIFA, and googled it, but I can't find it. Can any of you find a source that lists the players on the 1996 USA Men's Olympic Team? I know the following: the 3 overage/have played before players for the 1996 squad were: Claudio Reyna, Alexis Lalas, Kasey Keller who else was on the team?
When in doubt check Wikipedia, it even lists the clubs every player was at in 1996. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_at_the_1996_Summer_Olympics_-_Men's_team_squads#United_States
I swear I tried checking these sites. Obviously I didn't conduct my search correctly. Thank you for providing the links!
given how many Italians wound up as the core of the 2006 World Champions team it's crazy to think that they finished last in the group.
There were only 3 Italians from the 2006 WC side that were on the 1996 Olympic team: Buffon, Nesta, & Cannavaro. Buffon didn't play one second in Atlanta. They were actually European under-21 champions. But none of the main attacking threats(Totti, Vieri, Del Piero) played on the Olympic team.
In truth the USMNT should've won a gold metal at the olympics by now. I think the Stars and Stripes will win gold before they win the world cup but that remains to be seen at the moment. What do you guys think?
