For all of its past achievements, the United States women’s national soccer team entered the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris cloaked in uncertainty.

Following a woeful performance in the 2023 Women’s World Cup, in which it was eliminated in the Round of 16, the USWNT has undergone wholesale changes. Some of the team’s most ubiquitous figures over the past decade — namely, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe — are not on the Olympic roster. There has been a change in leadership, too, with former Chelsea manager Emma Hayes stepping in for Vlatko Andonovski as the team’s coach.

Then there’s the matter of the Olympics themselves, an event the Americans, despite claiming two World Cups in the past nine years, haven’t won since 2012.

Whatever questions faced the USWNT before it arrived in Paris have begun to be answered, now two games into the group stage of the Olympics.

On the heels of a win against 3-0 win vs. Zambia and a 4-1 victory against Germany, the Americans will finish off group play with a match against Australia, the No. 12 team in the FIFA women’s world rankings.
