00:00Team USA's return to Olympic men's soccer began in disappointment as they dropped their

00:05opening group stage match 3-0 to France in Marseille on Wednesday.

00:10Two goals from outside the box via Alexandre Lacazette and Michael Alais were enough to

00:14push 3H's squad to victory.

00:18Loic Bade also added a goal in the 85th minute to put the match out of sight.

00:23It was a composed performance from the United States early on but this is a match where

00:27the talent gap between the United States and other nations shows.

00:32With New Zealand also winning their opening match, there is more pressure on Marko Mitrovic

00:36as the United States will likely need to win out in Group A in order to make the knockout

00:40stage of the Olympics.

00:42It's a match where the score doesn't tell the full story as for 60 minutes of the match,

00:46the United States were composed and creating chances but eventually, France's talent won

00:51out.

00:52They could have done better on closing Lacazette down on his opening goal but when it came

00:56to Alais' there was nothing that could be done about it.

01:00Getting a point off of France was always going to be a tough proposition for this team but

01:04it's the New Zealand victory that throws off the group.

01:07The United States will only be able to control what they can control which is why victory

01:12is needed on Saturday.

01:14There may be changes to the line-up such as the inclusion of Griffin Yao who did have

01:18the ball in the back of the net but it was judged to be offside late in the match.

01:23His skill in striking the ball could be needed against New Zealand but for the most part,

01:28if Mitrovic's men can continue off the positives in this one, getting out of the group is possible.
