Is my memory correct that MLS dictated which MLS teams would participate in the USOC in 2024? The Fire wanted to play, but were told they couldn’t correct? A friend of mine is insisting that teams who wanted to did, hence the Fire didn’t care about USOC.
They used a mish mash of criteria. Teams involved in the CONCALAF Champions Cup and the bottom 8 (?) teams in the 2023 overall table were out.
