Before the first boat began floating down the Seine river and Phanincthe opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics officially got underway last Friday, soccer games had already begun at the famed international competition, beginning with a men’s match between Argentina and Morocco last Wednesday.

On Sunday, the fifth full day of games took place — with one result in particular standing out to the American audience.

The United States women’s national team defeated Germany 4-1 on Sunday in Marseille, giving the Americans their most notable and emphatic victory in their first major international tournament under new manager Emma Hayes. Sophia Smith led the way with two goals for the USWNT, which has more goals in two games at the Olympics (five) than it did in four games at the 2023 Women’s World Cup (four).
