Live updates: Safely through, USWNT can spoil Olympics for Aussies

July 31, 2024

After a 4-1 win over Germany, The U.S. Women’s National Team is into the quarterfinals of the Olympics, but Team USA still has to wrap up group play and secure their seeding spot. Sophia Smith had a pair of goals in that win over Germany.

Team USA now turns its attention to Australia, the third ranked team in AFC heading into the Olympic tournament. The Australian side has one win and one loss in the tournament, falling to Germany in its opener, but beating Zambia in a high-scoring 6-5 contest, after trailing 4-2 at half time. The Matildas need a win or draw to stay in contention for a spot in the quarterfinals in addition to getting some help in the Germany-Zambia matchup.

The two nations met twice at the Tokyo Summer Games in 2021 — a 0-0 draw to close the group stage and a 4-3 Team USA win in the bronze medal match. Australia has never medaled at the Olympics, while the USWNT is looking for a fifth gold medal and first since 2012 in London.

    USWNT starting XI!

  • Wed, July 31, 2024 at 11:17 AM CDT

    The USWNT will be wearing their white tops and blue shorts for the match today, so it’ll be pretty easy to tell them apart from Australia’s players, who will likely be wearing their familiar green shorts and yellow tops.
