For the first time since the 2000 games in Sydney, the United States men's soccer team has advanced to the knockout stage of the Olympics.
Maybe the future of USA men's soccer is bright after all. For the first time since the Sydney games, the United States has advanced to the knockout stage of the men's soccer tournament in the Olympics. The Americans earned a 3-0 victory over Guinea to officially advance out of Group A, which also includes New Zealand and France.
Djordje Mihailovic found the back of the net in the 14th minute, going upper left corner on a free kick to get the scoreboard off and running. Kevin Paredes then scored his first of two goals in the 31st minute . The Olympics didn't get off to a swell start for the Americans, who lost 3-0 to host country France on July 24. But three days later, they answered back in a big way with a 4-1 victory over New Zealand – it was the first time the U.S. had ever scored four goals in an Olympic game.
The United States will now face Morocco in the quarterfinals on Friday at 9 a.m. ET. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
