USA Eliminated by Morocco in Olympic Quarterfinal

The United States men's soccer team was eliminated from the Paris Olympics after a 4-0 defeat by Morocco in the quarterfinals, marking their best Olympic run since 2000. Morocco's goals were scored by Soufiane Rahimi, Ilias Akhomach, Achraf Hakimi, and Mehdi Maouhoub, with Rahimi and Maouhoub converting penalty kicks. Despite early hopes following their first quarterfinal appearance since 2000, the U.S. was outmatched by a stronger Moroccan team that had already defeated Argentina in the group stage. American fans expressed disappointment on social media, criticizing the team's performance and the broader state of U.S. men's soccer. Morocco will advance to play Spain in the semifinals. The U.S., which last won an Olympic medal in 1904, now looks to build on this experience for future competitions.
