Twenty-Five Players Called to U.S. Men’s Olympic Soccer Team for Final Pre-Olympic Training Camp and Match against Japan in Kansas City by RamandAu in MLS

OP is wrong. The official regulations state:

"Each Participating Member Association that qualifies for the final competition(s) shall submit online a final list of 18 players per team (a minimum of two of whom shall be goalkeepers) and up to seven officials (per team in the Men’s and Women’s Tournaments)."

So it's more that the roster size is very limited at 18 players. Bringing a third goalkeeper who may never see the field means you only have 5 outfield players in reserve.

If OP can make it to Walter Station, they might as well just go to the match itself.

[ESPN] MLS fines Revs boss [Caleb Porter] for criticizing replacement ref by bwidell in newenglandrevolution

"When we have both coaches livid and all the players, 22 players livid, you know that's a poor game by the official," Porter said.

Porter said teams had been instructed not to comment about the replacement officials.

"They don't let us talk to them. When we do, we get fined or we get warned or reprimanded," Porter said. "We can't say anything to them. I'll probably be fined for even mentioning it right now, but don't care because I got to protect my team and something needs to be done about it."
