Rio Olympics: Men's Soccer, Semifinals

• by Soccer America , Aug 17, 2016

Honduras looks to follow Mexico four years ago as the second Concacaf team to reach the Olympic men's soccer gold-medal game in the modern era. The Catrachos face a tall order as they travel to Rio de Janeiro's Maracana Stadium to face Brazil.

Germany plays Nigeria in Wednesday's other semifinal in Sao Paulo. Since reunification, Germany has not won a medal in men's soccer. Indeed, no European team has won a medal since 2004.
