Catch the highlights from the US Women's National Team's triumph over Australia and the drone scandal shaking up Canada’s soccer dreams!

The 2024 Paris Olympics have been nothing short of exhilarating for the U.S. Women's National Team (USWNT), who put forth an impressive performance by triumphing over Australia with a 2-1 victory in their group stage finale. With three straight wins under their belt and a whopping nine goals scored, the Americans have solidified their place in the quarterfinals, showcasing their dominance on the field. Stars of the match shined brightly for the US, proving that they are ready to tackle any team that crosses their path on the road to Olympic glory.

But while the USWNT is savoring their sweet success, not every soccer tale at the Olympics is filled with applause and cheers. Just a stone's throw away, the Canadian women’s soccer team has found themselves in a bit of hot water due to a recent drone spying scandal. Two assistant coaches were caught red-handed using drones to surveil their opponents, New Zealand, before their opening match. Unfortunately for Canada, their appeal regarding a six-point deduction was dismissed, but their determination has not waned; they powered through to reach the quarterfinals after a suspenseful 1-0 win against Colombia. Talk about underdog resilience!

Tensions were high not only for the teams on the pitch but also for the fans, who eagerly tuned in to catch the action. For those wanting to cheer for their teams, streaming options were plentiful, with coverage available in multiple languages. The dedication of the fans truly illustrated the unifying power of sports across borders, as everyone rallied behind their favorites. In sports, distractions are everywhere — just like that time a soccer player gave a brief motivational speech, immediately before winning the match with last-minute flair!

As the quarterfinals approach, both the U.S. and Canadian teams exemplify spirit and determination. Did you know that the USWNT has won four Olympic gold medals since the sport debuted at the Games in 1996? Meanwhile, Canada's women's squad has continuously defied odds, proving that teamwork and grit can overcome any obstacle, even scandal! Will the U.S. continue their winning streak, and can Canada rise above their challenging circumstances? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: the excitement is just beginning.
