U.S. coach Clive Charles named his 18-player Olympic team, which included, as expected, U.S. national team players Jeff Agoos, Chris Armas and Frankie Hejduk as over-age players. Hejduk is the only player on the roster with previous Olympic experience. He helped the U.S. team compile a 1-1-1 record at the 1996 Olympics. U.S. Men’s Olympic Roster
