Not three months into her time as head coach of the US women’s soccer team, Emma Hayes is already going for an Olympic gold medal.
Not even three months into her time as head coach of the US women’s soccer team, Emma Hayes is already going for an Olympic gold medal. Only Brazil and the legendary Marta stand between the US and a record-extending fifth Olympic title, which would be the team’s first gold medal since 2012. Despite her players struggling to find goals for large parts of the knockout stages, victory in Paris on Saturday would nevertheless cap off a brilliant start to Hayes’ coaching tenure.
But we want that gold, so I’m not going to say too much on that. I love her, but we want to win.” The Paris Olympics have been an opportunity for this US team to start afresh after a disappointing World Cup campaign last year, which ended in a round-of-16 defeat against Sweden. After topping Group B with three wins, the US had to display resilience and resolve to progress through the Olympic knockout rounds and continue the team’s famous legacy at this tournament.
