Olympic Soccer Live: U.S. Women’s Team vs. Netherlands

The last time I saw these two teams play each other was at the 2019 World Cup final in Lyon, France. It was one of the more stirring stadium environments I’ve ever been in, with a packed crowd at the end serenading the victorious Americans with chants of “equal pay!” We’ll see a far different atmosphere tonight in Yokohama, where a prohibition on fans will leave the sprawling stands essentially silent.
