The United States Women’s National Team can set their sights on a medal at the 2020 Olympics. They are guaranteed a chance to play for gold, silver, or bronze after defeating the Netherlands in the quarterfinals via penalties. Still, everyone knows their goal was gold. They want that gold medal, and they have to win 2 more matches to achieve that goal.
Standing between them and the gold medal match is Canada, a familiar foe to American fans. Our rivals to the north would love nothing more than to ruin the USWNT’s chances of getting that gold.
