PARIS —

The Olympics opened in Paris a week ago, but neither the men’s nor women’s U.S. soccer teams have seen the Eiffel Tower yet. That could change this weekend when both come to the French capital for quarterfinal matches, the men with Morocco on Friday and the women against Japan on Saturday.

For the men, playing in the Olympic tournament for the first time in 16 years, the trip to the knockout round is just their second since 1956 — before the Olympics became an age-group tournament — while their two wins is already the most ever in the Summer Games.
