The first set of Olympic soccer matches in Japan set up an intriguing schedule of games across Saturday and Sunday.
Both the men's and women's group stages are being played over six days. That means the deeper squads could be rewarded as fatigue potentially sets in with the summer heat in Japan.
The United States women's national team will be under the largest microscope following its defeat to Sweden on Wednesday.
The USWNT will try to rebound from the surprising result against New Zealand, who also sits in the bottom half of Group G.
On the men's side, France, Germany, Argentina and Spain need to bounce back from disappointing results on Thursday to be in better positions to advance to the quarterfinals.
