U-23 MNT

The U.S. Men’s Olympic Team fought bravely to overcome being down a man for 87 minutes, but the heroics of goalkeeper Brad Guzan and a last-minute frenzy to score the equalizer were not enough as the U.S. fell 2-1 to Nigeria before 48,096 at the Beijing Workers' Stadium. The loss knocked the U.S. out of the 2008 Olympic Games, while Nigeria earned first place in Group B.

With the top two finishers in each group advancing to the quarterfinals, the U.S. can advance to the next round with a win, draw, and possibly even a loss against Nigeria. The U.S. also has a chance to win Group B, which would mean they would face the second place team in Group A in the quarterfinals. Below are the scenarios for advancing to the quarterfinals, and for winning Group B.
