The U.S. men's soccer team has advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2024 Summer Olympics after a commanding 3-0 victory over Guinea, marking their first advancement past the group stage in 24 years. Kevin Paredes starred in the match, scoring two goals, while Djordje Mihailovic added another, helping the team recover from an initial loss to France. The U.S. finished second in Group A with a record of 2-0-1 and will face Morocco in the quarterfinals on Friday. This achievement is notable as it is only the second time the U.S. men's team has reached the knockout stage since the current format was introduced in 1960. The team's last Olympic appearance was in 2008, and this marks a significant resurgence in U.S. soccer on the international stage.
