USA Vs. France Men’s Olympic Soccer Odds Wednesday
Olympic soccer kicks off July 24, with group-stage matches for the men’s tournament. Thus, it’s time to take a look at Olympic odds for soccer with a focus on Team USA’s opening match vs. France. The game is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET on July 24, with TV coverage on Telemundo and Peacock.
The USMNT enters the tournament coming off a poor showing in Copa America, while France turned in a solid performance at Euro 2024 with a semifinal run. However, both teams will look radically different. It’s important to remember that Olympic rules essentially turn the contest into an under-23 event, though each team is allowed three overage players. In most cases, though, superstars aren’t participating.

Team USA Tries To Rebound After Poor Copa America
Even as Team USA scuffled to a surprising degree in a Copa America that was supposed to serve as a launching pad for the golden generation’s 2026 World Cup contention, there’s reason for hope.
Team USA dominated in qualifying for this event, with the then-U20 squad authoring a perfect run through CONCACAF knockouts. Only Costa Rica played the U.S. within two goals, as the USMNT went a collective 4-0 with a +16 goal difference.
Team USA features several players from mid-level European clubs, plus 19-year-old defender Caleb Wiley of Chelsea. FC Cincinnati’s Miles Robinson has 29 international caps. World Cup vet Walker Zimmerman captains the bunch as one of the overage players.
France doesn’t bring any of its true heavy hitters. But it does have a slew of young talents plying their trades at teams like AS Monaco, Sevilla, Lyon, and even Bayern Munich (22-year-old defender Michael Olise).

Odds to Win Men’s Soccer Gold Medal
As far as this game’s impact on the overall tournament, it doesn’t figure to be too major. Both teams landed in Group A with Guinea and New Zealand, meaning both should advance to the knockouts.
As hosts and boasting a rich history in international soccer, it’s little surprise France are graded as the early favorites. However, the USMNT has a real shot as well.
