Men’s soccer play in the pool kicks off with Uzbekistan taking on Spain in Group C at 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday, and hosts France will also be in action against Team USA at 3 p.m. ET.

Top predictions for the 2024 Summer Olympics
Eimer fades away the United States, which has not won an Olympic medal in 120 years. Gregg Berhalter was sacked after the USMNT’s disastrous performance at the Copa America, but it will be Marko Mitrovic who will have to lead the United States to Olympic men’s football glory in France this summer.
However, Mitrovic has not been given access to the top American players after they were mainly used during the Copa America earlier this year. Stars like Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams would all have needed age exemptions to play, but were instead used in the USMNT’s Copa America bid, where they failed to progress beyond the group stage.
Instead, Mitrovic will rely on experienced defenders like Myles Robinson and Walker Zimmerman, along with youngsters like Paxten Aaronson, Gaga Slonina and Kevin Paredes. With France advancing into the group stage and then powerhouses like Argentina and Spain (both coming off big continental wins) to contend with, Eimer is reducing Team USA’s chances of winning a medal.
