On today’s episode, JWS podcast host Claire Watkins takes a look at the USWNT’s first two Olympic soccer matches, analyzing their performances as the team cruises to a quarterfinal spot with a group stage game still to play.
She talks through players making their own luck, some touchy moments in defense, and what to make of the team’s ever-shifting midfield. Later, she hits on a few of week one's biggest Olympic storylines, including a battle in the pool, a historic moment in gymnastics, and Team Canada's ongoing drone-gate saga.
