After a shaky start to its Olympic campaign, the U.S. women’s national team responded in strong fashion on Matchday 2 with a lopsided victory over New Zealand.

Now Rose Lavelle, Julie Ertz and the rest of the USWNT prepares for a must-win affair against Australia to advance out of the group stage.

For the U.S. men’s national team it was a hard-fought 1-0 win over Jamaica in the quarterfinals on Sunday night, which saw Matthew Hoppe’s first senior goal come at the best time. Up next for Gregg Berhalter’s side is a semifinal clash with Qatar on Thursday, knowing a victory will see them face off with Mexico or Canada in August 1st’s final.

On the other side of the bracket, El Tri takes on Canada for a place in the final, and the Mexican Under-23 Olympic Team faces South Africa Wednesday needing a win to rebound from its loss against Japan on Matchday 2.

Elsewhere, there are two MLS games on Wednesday with LAFC taking on Minnesota United and Austin FC facing off with the Vancouver Whitecaps.

In UEFA Champions League qualifying, Henry Wingo and Ferencvaros are in strong position to advance to the next round of qualifiers on Tuesday after a 2-0 first leg victory over Zalgiris.

Thursday is also a massive game for BSC Young Boys and American striker Jordan Pefok. In league play over the weekend, Pefok scored a brace and added an assist in a 4-3 victory over Luzern, but his goal scoring exploits will be needed in the Champions League with Young Boys tied 0-0 on aggregate in a matchup against Slovan Bratislava.

Here are This Week’s Top Matches to Watch, along with a look at the full rundown of the soccer viewing options available this week:


This Weekend’s Top 5 Matches to Watch:


  1. Qatar vs USMNT  –  Qatar has been a the surprise of the Gold Cup lead by star forward Al Moez Ali who scored 2 goals in the quarterfinal victory over Honduras. On paper the USMNT have the advantage over Qatar, but this is not an opponent the USMNT are familiar with so it will be an different type of challenge.
  2. Australia  vs USWNT – After a shocking loss against Sweden to open their Olympics campaign, the USWNT responded well against New Zealand but they will need to continue their strong form against Australia to round out group play.
  3. Mexico vs. Canada – The second Gold Cup quarterfinal, Mexico has been in fine form after struggling to open the tournament, but Canada boasts a strong squad that has a chance to pull of an upset and make the final.
  4. Mexico Olympic Team vs South Africa Olympic Team – Mexico fell to Japan in surprising fashion on matchday 2 and is need of a win over a South Africa team that came up short in a 4-3 loss over France.
  5. LAFC vs Minnesota United  – Separated by one point in the Western Conference standings, this has all the makings of a strong midweek MLS game. LAFC is coming off of a 2-2 tie with Vancouver and Minnesota is looking to build on their three game winning streak.
