The U.S. men’s soccer team is accustomed to pressure — it’s the Washington region’s heat and humidity that will take some getting used to.
“We only have 12 players here today, but … it’s good to be back with the boys,” said Richards, who plays his club soccer for Crystal Palace in England. “I’m not going to lie, training is kind of tough because it’s a bit hotter than what we’re used to. It’s a lot more sun.” Colombia and a June 12 game against Brazil will be the final tuneup for the American squad before they host the top national teams from South America in the Copa America.
While the Olympics offer one of the grandest stages, the Games don’t always host the biggest soccer stars. The men’s Olympic tournament requires players to be 23 years old or younger, though each squad gets three “overage” exceptions.
