In their respective teams' Olympic releases, France defeated the USA 3-0 on Wednesday after a slow first half from both sides.
For a French squad playing its first Games as the host nation, it was the perfect beginning to the Games in front of a vibrant Marseille crowd. France opened the celebration in Marseille by controlling the ball from the first whistle and pouring it on with three goals in the second half.
The United States of America faces New Zealand on July 27 and Guinea on July 30, so they have a lot of work ahead of them to advance out of group play. On July 27, France will play Guinea, and on July 30, it will play New Zealand.
France vs USA 3-0
The United States and France were scoreless during their first group-stage encounter at the break. For most of the first forty-five minutes, France controlled the ball, made more shots, and scored five corners.
In Paris, the U23 squads of both nations are present. For the first time since 2008, the United States men are competing in the Olympics in Beijing.
After a 16-year break, the U.S. men's football team made an impressive return to the Olympics, losing 3-0 to France in Marseille's group stage. Throughout the first half, France maintained possession and outshot the Americans 8–3. However, the United States defeated a tough French squad that called for seven fouls while seeming composed, calm, and collected. It was 0-0 at the half.
The U.S. Soccer team opens the Paris Olympics with a tough loss against France
Due to roster rules, almost every Olympic men's football participant must be younger than 23. Under Marko Mitrovic's coaching, the majority of the U.S. team has experience as players in Major League Soccer or MLS academy clubs.
In the same way they concluded the first half, the United States and France began the second half by exchanging energetic passes and attacking well into each team's half of play. The largely French audience shouted encouragement and support for their team, which placed 13th in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
U.S. Team Lost
The United States lost a great chance to be first on the scoreboard. Djordje Mihailovic struck a powerful right-footed shot that hit the crossbar in the 59th minute. The happiness in America was temporary.
Alexandre Lacazette, the captain of France, scored a long-range goal from outside the penalty area two minutes later. The crowd screamed when the score was 1-0. After dodging the American defence, Lacazette found Michael Olise, who increased the French lead to 2-0.
In the 85th minute, Loïc Badé scored another goal for France with a picture-perfect header off a corner kick. With a simple 3-0 victory over the United States, the host nation opened Group A play with just that.
