USWNT schedule, roster: United States Women's National Soccer Team odds, picks for Tokyo Olympics 2020
The USWNT is looking to bounce back after failing to win a medal in 2016
The United States Women's National Soccer Team got off to a slow start at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, but ultimately did enough to advance to the tournament's knockout stage. The USWNT survived a scare from the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the 2020 women's Olympics soccer bracket, winning 4-2 on penalties after battling to a 2-2 tie during regulation. The USWNT will now face Canada in the semifinals. Australia and Sweden meet in the other women's Olympic soccer semifinal match.
The USWNT is still favored to take home the women's soccer gold medal, and anything less would be considered a massive disappointment -- especially after failing to medal at all in the 2016 Rio De Janiero Games.
Tobin Heath, Kristie Mewis, and the legendary goal-scoring trio of Carli Lloyd, Megan Rapinoe, and Alex Morgan, helped the USWNT bounce back with a dominating 6-1 win over New Zealand in their second group stage match. The USWNT is currently the betting favorite priced at +100 (risk $100 to win $100) to win the gold medal in the latest Tokyo Olympics 2020 women's soccer odds at William Hill Sportsbook.
Below is a full rundown on the remaining USWNT Olympic schedule, as well as a complete list of the 2020 USWNT Olympic roster.
