And that's soccer
Defender Brian Dunseth is the captain of the U.S. men's Olympic soccer team, which headed Down Under and did what no other men's team had ever done: make it out of the first round alive. Dunseth, 23, left Cal. St. Fullerton early to join Major League Soccer and the New England Revolution, where he has now played four seasons. The U.S. will play for the bronze medal on Friday against Chile.

Does Chad McCarty's yellow card against Spain mean you're finally going to get your chance in the bronze-medal match, after recovering from your injury? Well, it sucks when one of your closest friends can't play our final match of the Olympics, but at the same time, I get an opportunity to get on the field. I'll be playing in tomorrow night's game against Chile for the bronze medal. What went wrong in the semifinal against Spain? It was such a tough game the other night, and Spain did well to capitalize on our mistakes. They weren't the best team we faced, but they did enough to win the game, and that's soccer. How had media interest increased with the U.S. team's success? There have been a lot more cameras around the team since we've done so well, so it's obvious that what we've done has increased the hype around soccer back in the states. The significance of these wins, along with what our full team has accomplished in the last two years, has made huge strides in bringing recognition to our men's program and soccer in general for the U.S. --Brian
