In the midst of the Women's Olympic Games, a battle of kings is about to unfold as the passion of the Brazilian women's soccer team ignites against the U.S. women's soccer team. The Brazilian team is determined to give their "King of Women", Mada, the chance to win a gold medal, but the Americans are not to be underestimated. With their recent caution in the final, they will be more than willing to settle for 2.5 goals to secure the victory.
Despite the fact that Mada, a veteran of the Brazilian women's soccer team, missed two matches due to suspension, players such as Gabby Portillo, Azuana and Jilorian came to the forefront and managed to beat the French and Spanish women's soccer teams, "guaranteeing" Mada a place in the final. The six-time Olympic champion had announced her retirement earlier, and the gold medal was the perfect end to her career. However, the Brazilian team has lost seven times in a row to the U.S. women's soccer team, and they must first stabilize their defense and dare not attack rashly.
The U.S. women's soccer team, on the other hand, is undefeated this year as a four-time gold medalist and has a good mix of offense and defense. But they have had to battle through overtime after their last two tournaments ended in 0-0 draws. The women will face a huge physical test to beat Japan and Germany in overtime. They will have to take today's match in their stride. Looking back at history, three of the last four meetings between the two teams have seen two or fewer goals scored. In the final, they prefer a conservative strategy in order to minimize mistakes, and 2.5 goals is ideal for them.
