CHOOSE THE OLYMPIC STARTING XI AGAINST NEW ZEALAND
The USA men’s soccer team continues their Paris 2024 Olympics against New Zealand in Group A on Saturday. The US men lost 0-3 to host nation France in Marseille on Wednesday to open the tournament. New Zealand picked up a surprise 2-1 win over Guinea in their opening match.
As we look at the squads in Group A, it shouldn’t be any kind of shock that the US lost to France, who clearly have the strongest squad in the group. New Zealand would appear to be the weakest side, but they were able to pull off the upset against Guinea. The USA’s two remaining games against New Zealand and Guinea are crucial if they want to advance to the knockout round.
