The USA men’s soccer team began the Paris 2024 Olympics with a 0-3 defeat to home nation France in Marseille. Alexandre Lacazette opened the scoring for Les Bleus in the 61st minute, and new Bayern Munich signing Michael Olise doubled the lead 8 minutes later. Loïc Badé made it 3-0 in the 85th minute. The US did have some chances, most notably a close-range header from John Tolkin and a long-distance blast from Djordje Mihailovic, but both of them hit the woodwork instead of finding their way into goal. Nathan Harriel also had a glancing header that went just wide from a free kick delivered nicely by Jack McGlynn. Griffin Yow appeared to score in second-half stoppage time, but he was ruled offside after receiving a long diagonal from Tanner Tessmann.
