United States, which has historically dominated Olympic competitions, a loss would signify not only a setback in terms of medals but could also prompt introspection regarding its training methodologies and athlete preparation strategies. The U.S. has long prided itself on its extensive resources dedicated to sports; however, this hypothetical defeat could challenge prevailing notions of American exceptionalism within athletics.
The result puts the U.S., which returned to the Games for the first time since 2008, in last place of Group A with zero points while France finds itself on top. New Zealand topped Guinea 2-1 earlier in the day and sits in second place. Guinea is just above the U.S. in third due to goal differential.
With a loss, the U.S. will need to get results in its next two games to have a chance of advancing to the next round, starting with New Zealand at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 27.
