The U.S. Women’s National Team can clinch the top spot in Group B in the final matchday of the 2024 Summer Olympics group stage.
Emma Hayes and the U.S. take on Australia at the Stade de Marseille on Wednesday July 31, and Hayes has some big decisions to make. Tierna Davidson and Jaedyn Shaw have both been ruled out with injury, and Hayes has to determine whether she will rest the amazing front three of Sophia Smith, Mallory Swanson, and Trinity Rodman ahead of the quarterfinals. The trio have combined for six goals and three assists through the USA’s first two matches.
The U.S. beat Zambia, 3-0, and then dominated Germany, 4-1, to qualify for the knockout stage.
Australia meanwhile needs a draw or win to qualify for the next round past Zambia.
