Description

And breathe. The USWNT finished the group stage with a perfect three wins from three at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

At the end of the day's soccer action, Tamerra Griffin and Steph Yang react to the Americans' 2-1 over Australia and then they are joined by Meg Linehan to give the inside scoop from the Stade Velodrome, in Marseille, on how the players and head coach Emma Hayes reacted to victory.

Is it time to question Hayes' lack of rotation in the starting XI? Who replaces a now-suspended Sam Coffey? After months without access, what was goalscorer Korbin Albert asked in the mixed zone? Exactly what did Matildas head coach Tony Gustavsson do to earn a yellow card?

After wrapping up the USWNT's win and overall group stage performance, Tamerra and Steph play 'Gold, Silver, and Bronze' (giving out medals to their favorite moments of the day). Then, they finish up with a preview of every Olympic Quarterfinal matchup. From the USA's 2012 Olympic final rematch versus Japan; to Canada's miraculous journey to the knockout rounds (where they will play Germany) despite a six-point deduction and a suspended head coach.
