USWNT Advances to Quarterfinals with Win Over Germany

The United States Women's National Soccer Team (USWNT) secured a decisive 4-1 victory over Germany in their second match of the Paris Olympics, advancing to the quarterfinals. Sophia Smith led the charge with two goals, while Mallory Swanson and Lynn Williams also found the net. This marks the first major tournament under new coach Emma Hayes, who aims to steer the team away from the disappointment of last summer’s Women's World Cup. The USWNT, the most successful team in Olympic history with four gold medals, now looks ahead to their final group game against Australia. The squad's dominant performance included standout moments from Smith and Swanson, with Swanson tying an Olympic record. Trinity Rodman also made headlines with her 'Trin Spin' goal in the team's 3-0 win over Zambia in their opening match.
