<p>Finally, the gold medal game.  There aren’t many bigger than this in women’s soccer.  It’s the biggest game the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/uswnt-tv-schedule/">USWNT</a> has played since the 2019 Women’s World Cup Final.  It’s the first time the USWNT has played for a gold medal since 2012 in London.  But they aren’t the only team playing in this gold medal game.  Brazil has never won a major international tournament and hopes to send their greatest star, Marta, off in style.  </p>



<h2>USWNT and Brazil have taken long roads to the final</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240809_WST_521538_USWNT-Brazil-1200x675_9875714d.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="" class="wp-image-521643" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/USWNT-Brazil-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/USWNT-Brazil-300x169.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/USWNT-Brazil-768x432.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/USWNT-Brazil-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/USWNT-Brazil.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>



<p>The USWNT’s win over Germany was almost a carbon copy of their win over Japan.  Both games were scoreless going to extra time.  And in both games, one of the three US forwards found a way to get the goal to send the Americans through.  </p>



<p>Against Japan, it was Trinity Rodman who fired home to secure the win.  Three days later, it was Sophia Smith who scored to send the US through to the gold medal game.  </p>



<p>Additionally, the US win against Germany again didn’t see Emma Hayes make many <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/olympics/who-needs-subs-emma-hayes-outsmarts-critics-with-usa-win/">substitutions</a> until extra time.  In regulation, Emily Sonnett and Lynn Williams were brought on.  But with the game tied 0-0 in extra time, Hayes could wait no more.  She brought on Jenna Nighswonger, Korbin Albert, and Casey Kruger.  Fortunately, there are four days between the semi-final and the gold medal game.  </p>



<p>On the other side, it’s quite a surprise to see Brazil in the gold medal game.  Not because they aren’t talented, but because they got their Olympics off to a horrendous start.</p>



<p>They won their opener against Nigeria 1-0.  Things then appeared to careen off the rails as they lost each of their next two games, 2-1 to Japan and 2-0 to Spain.  They only advanced to the knockout rounds as the second-ranked third-place team.  </p>



<p>In the quarterfinals they pulled off a huge shock, eliminating the host French and causing manager <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/usmnt-linked-renard-steps-down-as-france-womens-boss/">Herve Renard to resign</a>.  In their semifinal game, they demolished Spain by a score of 4-2.  The win was especially impressive because Spain is the reigning Women’s World Cup champion.  </p>



<h2>USWNT and Brazil face off in important match</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20240809_WST_521538_USWNT-Brazil-1-1200x675_32471da3.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="" class="wp-image-521646" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/USWNT-Brazil-1-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/USWNT-Brazil-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/USWNT-Brazil-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/USWNT-Brazil-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/USWNT-Brazil-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>



<p>There is history on the line for both the US and Brazil in this game.  </p>



<p>For the US, they have a chance to win a record fifth gold medal and their first since the 2012 Games in London.  It will be their seventh overall Olympic medal out of their eight appearances.</p>



<p>Brazil has a chance to win their first-ever major international tournament.  They have never won the Women’s World Cup, coming <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/06/sport/us-womens-soccer-team-brazil-marta-olympic-final-spt-intl/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">closest</a> as runners-up in 2007.  Nor have they won gold at the Olympics, not even as the hosts at Rio 2016.  They did, however, win consecutive silver medals in Athens in 2004 and Beijing in 2008.  </p>



<h2>Where to watch</h2>



<p>Saturday’s gold medal game is set for an 11 am ET kickoff.  Fans can watch in English on NBC and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/channels/peacock-soccer-schedule/">Peacock</a>, and in Spanish on Telemundo.  </p>

After two straight extra-time victories, the USWNT will take on Brazil aiming for their first gold medal since 2016.

USWNT vs. Brazil preview: USA pushing for 5th gold - World Soccer Talk

<p>It’s one of the most prestigious events in all of sports, and we’ve got all the information on how to watch the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/olympics-soccer-schedule-and-tv-guide/">Olympics</a> in the US.</p>



<p>The Summer Olympics are a multi-sport spectacle that captivates the world every four years. Inspired by the ancient Greek Olympics, the modern games began in Athens in 1896. Featuring both team and individual events, each edition of the games produces iconic moments that are etched into the public consciousness forever.</p>



<p>But few, if any, of those moments, have come from soccer (or football, as the Olympics officially call the sport). This is because the competition has traditionally been a low-prestige tournament in the men’s international game.</p>



<p>In the 1980s, European and South American teams could not field any players who had played in a World Cup. And since 1992, all men’s teams have been restricted to under-23 rosters (three over-age players are permitted).</p>



<p>Still, as the world’s most popular team sport, it has a place in the Olympic program. Men’s football has been played at every Olympics except in 1896 and 1932. </p>



<p>Women’s soccer was added at the 1996 Atlanta Games, and unlike the men, is a senior-level tournament with full-strength teams. The women’s Olympic competition is generally considered second in prestige behind only the World Cup.</p>



<p>The 2024 Olympics will take place in Paris, with soccer tournament matches also in Nantes, Bordeaux, Saint-Étienne, Lyon, Nice, and Marseille. 2028 sees the games come to Los Angeles, however, host sites for games have not yet been decided. In 1996, games were staged in Athens, GA, Birmingham, Miami, Orlando, and Washington, D.C.</p>

<h2>Where to watch the Olympic Games on US TV</h2>



<p>NBC Sports is almost synonymous with the Olympic Games in the USA, having had the rights for so long. They’ve broadcast every Summer Olympics since Seoul 1988, and every Winter Games since Salt Lake City 2002. NBC is the home of the Olympics, with coverage of the games extending from the morning through the nighttime. Throughout the day, the broadcast channel will have live coverage of events. Premier League fans will recognize both Rebecca Lowe and Ahmed Fareed. The two will be working as hosts for the entire Olympics on portions of NBC’s assignments. </p>



<p>You’ll find televised soccer matches on the networks of NBC – including USA, CNBC, MSNBC, plus Universo and Telemundo for Spanish coverage. </p>



<p><a href="https://imp.i305175.net/c/330866/1313913/11640" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Peacock</a> is the main home for the Olympics. NBC’s streaming service will have live coverage of every sporting event, including all games for men’s and women’s soccer. </p>



<p>Telemundo is a sure way to watch the United States men’s and women’s soccer teams at the Olympics. Coverage may also air on NBC, but the broadcast channel is reserved for live sports throughout daytime coverage. In the evenings, NBC is producing a wrap-up program of the day’s action. </p>
