MATCH PREDICTION
A stunning Trinity Rodman strike in extra-time sent USA through to the Olympic semi-finals at the expense of Japan, after the two nations had gone goalless up until that point.
Emma Hayes’ side boasted a 100% record during the group stage, while they have scored more and conceded less than any of the other three semi-finalists who are still in the hunt for a medal.
Germany contested a tight quarter-final themselves, their clash with reigning Olympic champions Canada ending goalless after 120 minutes before a penalty shoot-out victory sent them into the last four. Goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger was the star of the show, saving two penalties before scoring the decisive spot-kick herself.
Given the fact the USA were comfortable 4-1 winners in the group stage meeting between the two nations, it is difficult to look past the Stars and Stripes sealing a place in the Gold Medal Match. The belief is soaring through them right now, and they can be backed with confidence here.
