The U.S. women's national soccer team is looking to continue its undefeated streak at this year's Olympics as the squad prepares for a second match against Germany in the semifinals.
It may feel like another Tuesday for the American women, as the team has not lost to Germany in an international tournament for two straight decades. That's especially true of the 2024 Paris Games as the U.S. clobbered the European team in a 4-1 game in the group stage.
Nothing can be ruled out at the Olympics as the hunger for national glory has been known to bring dramatic upsets, but the U.S. women's team certainly walks in with an edge.
Though the squad struggled to break through Japan's defense in the quarterfinals on Saturday morning, a single goal by forward Trinity Rodman, 22, in extra stoppage time sailed the women into the next round.
She became the youngest player on the women's squad to score in extra time in a knockout round at the Games since the 2004 Athens Olympics.
