US men’s soccer team ends 24-year wait to reach QF at Olympics. France to meet Argentina

Associated Press  

SAINT-ETIENNE, France — To chants of “U.S.A.” America’s men ended a 24-year wait to reach the quarterfinals of the Olympic soccer tournament by beating Guinea 3-0 on Tuesday. Two goals from Kevin Paredes and a brilliant free kick from Djordje Mihailovic secured the victory that meant the U.S. advanced in second place behind Group A winner France, which beat New Zealand 3-0. The Americans — playing in the Olympics for the first time since Beijing 2008 — responded impressively to their opening 3-0 loss to France by winning back-to-back games against New Zealand and Guinea. At the Parc des Princes in Paris, where Israel played Japan, fans held a banner that read “Genocide Olympics.” Egypt stuns Spain Ibrahim Adel scored a pair of goals and Egypt advanced atop its group by beating Spain 2-1.
