<p>The USA men’s soccer team for the upcoming <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/olympics-soccer-schedule-and-tv-guide/">Olympic Games in Paris</a> now has an official squad. There are regulations surrounding the ages of players allowed to compete at the tournament, though. A team’s squad must consist of at least 15 players at or under the age of 23. Therefore, this is not the same United States men’s national team that just played at the Copa America. Instead, it is a collection of 15 members of the US Youth National Team and three overage players. </p>



<p>Over half of these players currently play in Major League Soccer, and that includes two of the three overage players. Center-backs Miles Robinson and Walker Zimmerman lead the way in terms of senior representation in the USA Olympic squad this summer. However, they are not alone in having top experience with the United States men’s national team.</p>



<p>In total, 15 out of the 18 players in head coach Marko Mitrovic’s squad have notched a cap with the USMNT. While Zimmerman and Robinson have more caps than anyone else, others have played many games. The most-capped player among the 15 U-23 talents is Gianluca Busio. The Venezia midfielder has seen the field 13 times for the USMNT in his career.</p>



<p>As stated, there is a heavy flavor of Major League Soccer among the squad. As it is a development team, many of these young Americans are just making the breakthrough into senior soccer. Yet, 17 out of the 18 players in the squad have either played professionally in Major League Soccer or they rose through MLS development ranks.</p>
