Men's soccer in Paris

The United States men's soccer team has advanced to the Olympic knockout stage for the first time in 24 years after defeating Guinea 3-0. They will face Morocco in the quarter-finals, having secured their spot alongside other teams, including host nation France, which topped Group A by beating New Zealand 3-0. France's victory was highlighted by goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta, Desire Doue, and Arnaud Kalimuendo, making it the first time they reached this stage since 1996. Meanwhile, Egypt topped Group C with a 2-1 win over Spain, while Uzbekistan and the Dominican Republic played to a 1-1 draw in their quest for Olympic victories. The U.S. men's team, composed of players under 23 years old, marks a return to the Olympics after missing the previous three tournaments, with significant implications for future competitions. The knockout rounds will continue as the final two quarter-finalists are determined later today.
