Summary

The U.S. women's national team's 2024 Paris Olympics adventure is not over. After a 1-0 extra-time win over Germany in Tuesday's semifinal, Emma Hayes' team will take on Brazil for a gold medal this weekend. On this special match-reaction Full Time podcast, Tamerra Griffin and Steph Yang break down how the USA stayed cool to survive and advance in a crunchy knockout affair against Germany. From Sophia Smith banishing the ghosts of the 2023 World Cup; to just how unstoppable Naomi Girma was in Lyon. Speaking of Lyon...Meg Linehan calls into the show, from France, to get the podcast caught up on her takeaways from the mixed zone with the players and coach. What was Hayes' reaction to taking the USA one step closer to Olympic gold? How was match-winner Smith feeling after one of the biggest moments of her career so far? Tamerra and Steph also play 'Gold, Silver, and Bronze' (giving out medals to their favorite moments from both the USA's win over Germany and Brazil's stunning 4-2 win over Spain.) Before then closing out the show with a preview of the upcoming gold medal match between the USWNT and the Selecao Feminina.
