France started the game well, but the USA made a firm comeback to maintain their domination in the tournament. The game was decided in the fourth quarter nicked a close win against a well-built French side. “Here’s the thing: We take everybody’s best effort,” Team USA coach Dawn Staley said. “A marathon isn’t won in the first mile, and the first quarter is the first mile to us. We get everybody’s best shot; the adrenaline is flowing on both sides. It’s hard to create separation.

The Australians, on the other hand, have struggled in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics so far. The Opals finished third in their respective group as they somehow managed to make it to the knockout stage of the competition. The Australians are missing the services of Liz Cambage in Tokyo. Nevertheless, they are still one of the most talented bunch in the tournament and can inflict an upset over team USA. The Australians managed to down team USA in one of their pre-season games last month.
