The Americans are very close to making it to the Olympic Games quarterfinals for only the second time in their history. They have participated in four tournaments previously and have only advanced to the knockout stages once. However, in that tournament, they achieved their best result, finishing in fourth place. As mentioned earlier, the Stars have a very good chance to advance to the quarterfinals despite their heavy 0:3 defeat against the French in their opening game.
In their next match, the USA easily overcame New Zealand with a 4:1 victory. This result put the Americans in second place in their group, with an equal goal difference of 4:4. The match against Guinea will be crucial for the Stars; a win will ensure their passage to the knockout stages.
One of the few teams in the tournament that has definitely lost all chances of reaching the quarterfinals. Two defeats in the previous matches sealed their fate. First, they suffered a narrow loss to New Zealand (1:2), though the score was tied 1:1 until the 76th minute. Then, they faced a frustrating defeat against the hosts. In their match against France, Guinea scored twice at the end of the first half. However, in both cases, after reviewing the VAR, the goals were disallowed due to offside. In the second half, the French scored a goal, resulting in a second narrow defeat in the group and an early exit from the tournament.
This is Guinea’s second Olympics in history, so it was difficult to expect more, especially given that the other three teams in the group have more experience and stronger squads. They first participated in the tournament back in 1968 but did not advance to the knockout stages. This time, Guinea fought hard but the miracle did not happen again.
