Team USA has been dominant in women’s soccer at the Olympics, as they have won four gold medals since the event’s creation in 1996. Although, the United States have not obtained a gold medal since 2012, so they will try to get back on track this summer.
Team USA underperformed at Rio 2016, losing in the quarterfinal round to Sweden. However, they were able to bounce back at the last Summer Olympics, winning a bronze medal by beating Australia 4-3.
Today’s match is imperative for Team USA because Zambia is the weakest competitor in the group, so they will try to start off the competition with three points.
The United States squad has some Olympic experience on the roster, as Lindsey Horan and Crystal Dunn have each played in 10 Olympic matches. Both of these players have more than 140 appearances on the country’s national team, so they should be prepared for today’s game.
Team USA also features a lot of young talent, as numerous players will make their Olympic debut this year. Notably, forward Sophia Smith has scored multiple goals for the United States this year, so the 23 year old will try to continue her great play at her first Olympic competition.
Fans can watch every Olympic event this year by utilizing Peacock. Alternatively, this soccer match will be available on Fubo TV, Sling, and DirecTV Stream.
