The U.S. defeated Brazil 1-0 in the women's soccer final at the 2024 Paris Olympics held in Paris, France on the 10th (Korea time).
The U.S. topped the list for the first time in 12 years since the 2012 London Olympics. The number of wins in women's football at the Olympics has been increased to five (1996, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2024).
American women's soccer was the strongest in the world. However, it has faltered in the last decade. He was eliminated in the quarterfinals at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and only won the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. At the 2023 Australia - New Zealand Women's World Cup, they were eliminated in the round of 16.
Men's Soccer The U.S. women's soccer, which was in a much stronger position than the world's best teams such as Brazil, France, and Spain, had a crack in its pride.
Eventually, coach Emma Hayes was brought in last May, and she prepared for this Olympics. It revived its strong defense and was extremely solid rather than glamorous. In the end, from the tournament, the U.S. lost its offense, but it overpowered the opponent with a strong defense.
The U.S. won with a solid defense and a winning goal from Mallary Swanson in the 12th minute of the second half. Since then, he has completely controlled Brazil's spectacular attack.
