Top 2024 Summer Olympics predictions

One surprise: Green is avoiding France, who did not qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Games. In fact, the French participated in only two of the previous seven Summer Olympics and are looking to earn a spot on the medal podium for the first time. They finished fourth in their initial appearance in 2012, losing to Canada in the bronze medal match of the London Games, before being eliminated by the Canadians in the quarterfinals four years later in Rio.

As the hosts of the 2024 Summer Games, France will be inspired to earn their first Olympic medal. They also will be motivated to succeed for manager Herve Renard, who plans to step down at tournament's end after less than two years on the job. The French, who are grouped with defending Olympic champion Canada, Colombia and New Zealand, are hoping Eugenie Le Sommer has some gas left in the tank. The 35-year-old forward is the team's all-time leading scorer with 93 goals in 192 international matches, including three tallies during Olympic play. Green, however, is concerned about France's track record on big stages.

"France have won just one major tournament, the 2017 SheBelieves Cup," he said. "Recent campaigns have been scuppered by injuries to key players and infighting amongst the squad. Les Bleus are No. 2 in the FIFA world rankings, but they were comprehensively outplayed by Spain in the Nations League final earlier this year, so it is hard to justify betting on them to win Olympic gold."
