A first-place finish is already guaranteed, but in the way of closing out group play on a high is a team playing for its Olympic life.
The U.S. Under-23 Men’s National Team will wrap up Group A action on Tuesday night by locking horns with Panama (9:30 pm ET, NBC Universo). The Americans have already booked their ticket to the semifinals round of the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament, and won the group after Canada tied Cuba earlier on Tuesday. Still, the U.S. will want to pick up a third straight victory to keep confidence and morale high going into the weekend’s potentially-decisive bout.
U.S. head coach Andi Herzog has made some changes to his lineup so as to offer a few of his first-choice regulars some rest, and this will provide the reserves a golden opportunity to make an impression as they take on a Panama side that has to win in order to advance.
The venue changes for this Group A showdown, as both nations have traveled away from Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kansas, to Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado.

Ariyibi = poor man’s version of Yaya Toure
First of all, I’d take ANY version of Yaya Toure. But Ariyibi was playing wing/striker? How is he remotely like Yaya Toure? Because he has many vowels on his jersey?
cause hes black duhh
Ha and as I said that…goal Morris
Morris comes on and US scores twice right away. Not because of his directly but Im sure they are focusing on him as it looked like they collapsed on him for the second goal
Luis Gil should’ve gone to arsenal when he had the chance, his talents are just rotting away in RSL.
Nbcuniverso is not the worst channel and in scrolling through the guide looks as if they are the American Spanish NBC station for the EPL
By some miracle I have access to stream NBCuniverso from comcast’s online tv streaming portal. I assume it came with BeIn in the latin package? I had no idea.
…and to think I watched the canada game in 380p on youtube.
Maybe we can blame Qatar and FIFA
Absolutely ridiculous not to be on a channel must get and in an English broadcast.
stream?
Where can we watch? I don’t get universo with my comcast
Anyone got a live feed?
google wiziwig.
