The USA women’s soccer team face Japan in Paris on Saturday in a tasty quarterfinal clash at the 2024 Olympics. Emma Hayes’ side navigated the group stage with ease, winning all three of their games and scoring nine goals to win Group B. Going forward the USWNT have been sublime with Sophia Smith, Mallory Swanson and Trinity Rodman leading the charge, while the experience of Lindsey Horan and Rose Lavelle, plus the defensive work of Sam Coffey, has been crucial in midfield. Defensively there are still a few issues to work out for the USA but right now they look like the red-hot favorites to win gold in Paris.

The United States Under-23 Men’s National Team pushed through a challenging Group A at the 2024 Olympic Men’s Tournament, securing advancement with a win over Guinea on the third matchday.

However, there is a powerful opponent waiting to end the campaign, as Morocco has been one of the liveliest performers in France through three fixtures. Set to host is Paris’ Parc de Princes, a 47,929 all-seater stadium located in the 16th arrondissement with a Desso GrassMaster® natural reinforced grass surface.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
