How to watch USA vs Brazil soccer gold medal game
The United States women’s national team front three of Sophia Smith, Mallory Swanson and Trinity Rodman have proposed a name for their fearsome trio.
While media have tossed around “The Trident” as a potential title, the three USA stars appeared on TODAY and have said they are proposing the name “Triple Espresso.”

United States women’s national team defender Naomi Girma is cementing herself as the top center back in the world during the 2024 Summer Olympics. Her head coach Emma Hayes agrees as the 24-year-old has played every minute of the campaign so far.
Girma has led a stout USWNT defense to the gold medal match only conceding two goals in the process. Throughout the tournament Girma has had different center back pairings due to a Tierna Davidson injury.
The United States women’s national team advanced to the gold medal match with a 1-0 victory vs. Germany on Tuesday, however not all USA fans were impressed.
American captain Lindsey Horan has received the most criticism of any USWNT player on the field after a string of poor performances. Her two knockout games against Japan and Germany saw careless giveaways that sprung attacks for the opponent and sluggish play in the midfield.
The United States women’s national team will play for a gold medal in the Olympics for the first time in 12 years after defeating Germany in the semifinal 1-0 on Tuesday. An unbelievable Alyssa Naeher save vs Germany is to thank.
USWNT fans had their hearts drop to their stomachs in the final minutes of extra time when Germany were awarded a dangerous free kick. In the dying seconds the ball was lofted into the box and headed toward goal.
The United States women’s national team narrowly surpassed Japan in the Olympic quarterfinals on Saturday with a nervy 1-0 victory with several poor individual performances. USWNT captain Lindsey Horan had one of the worst showings.
The 30-year-old captain had a number of sloppy turnovers that turned into opportunities for Japan, she was far too slow on and off the ball and had a scare or two back on defense.
In the 35th minute she uncharacteristically let Japan’s Mina Tanaka spin away from her in the box to rip a shot that forced Alyssa Naeher into action.
An incredible Trinity Rodman goal vs Japan in extra time of the Olympics quarterfinal saved the United States women’s national team in a poor showing on Saturday.
The USWNT were untouchable in the group stage sweeping Zambia, Germany and Australia while scoring a team record nine goals in the three games.
Saturday was a drastically different performance as head coach Emma Hayes deployed an exhausted side that were off the pace and tremendously struggled to break down Japan’s defense which utilized a brick wall 5-4-1 defense.
United States women’s national team head coach Emma Hayes started the same players in midfield (Lindsey Horan, Rose Lavelle and Sam Coffey) for all three Olympic group stage games. The USWNT midfield will change for the quarterfinals.
Hayes made a risky decision for the group stage finale against Australia and started Coffey plus Trinity Rodman despite the two players already having a yellow card in the tournament. A second yellow would mean they miss the quarterfinals.
The United States women’s national team completed a sweep of their Olympic group stage on Wednesday with a 2-1 victory vs. Australia. One moment fans noticed was an Emily Fox Korbin Albert exchange, or lack thereof we should say.
In the 65th minute of the Australia game head coach Emma Hayes made a triple substitution with Trinity Rodman, Rose Lavelle and Fox coming off for Lynn Williams, Casey Krueger and Albert.
Korbin Albert scored her first-ever international goal on Wednesday as the United States women’s national team defeated Australia 2-1 to make it a perfect nine points from the group stage.
One moment that fans will heavily discuss is the goal from Albert who came on as a second half substitute and scored a screamer from outside the box in the 77th minute to double the USWNT’s lead.
