American players fell to the field at the final whistle. Another missed Olympics soccer tournament for the U.S. men.

Juan Carlos Obregn scored in the fourth minute of first-half stoppage time, goalkeeper David Ochoa committed a blunder that gifted Luis Palma a goal two minutes into the second half and Honduras beat the United States 2-1 on Sunday in an Olympic qualification game at Guadalajara, Mexico.

U.S. captain Jackson Yueill pulled a goal back with a curling 23-yard shot in the 52nd minute, but the Americans mis-fired on several good chances to equalize.

Obviously, were devastated, absolutely devastated, U.S. coach Jason Kreis said. In our locker room, the guys are like its a tragedy a tragedy.

U.S. men had trouble creating chances in the first half, and the Americans missed their third straight Olympics.

They were very well man-oriented to stop players, which didnt give us a lot of time to kind of break them down, Yeuill said.

The American Olympic skid is part of a trend that includes the senior national team missing the 2018 World Cup.

We lose an opportunity to play in an international tournament with more pressure, where these players have to be in these environments and continue to improve with that pressure, Kreis said.
