USA-CANADA MEET TONIGHT WITH OLYMPIC BERTH ON THE LINE


Tonight at 9PM eastern, Jozy Altidore, Hunter Freeman, and the US U23 MNT take on Canada in the CONCACAF Men's Olympic qualifying semifinals at LP Field in Nashville, TN. The winner of the match not only advances to the finals, but secures a berth in the Beijing Olympic games. After winning Group A, the US is poised to lock up a chance for a gold medal this summer.

With two Red Bulls on the team and with Jozy most likely getting the nod as a starter up top, fans of the Red Bull as well as all of us here at Red Bulls Reader are eagerly awaiting the matchup, which can be viewed on Fox Soccer Channel as well as ESPN Deportes (You can put down your NCAA brackets for a few hours, right?).

Here are some links to whet your appetite...
