00:00Team USA's men's soccer team has been eliminated.
00:05They are back home.
00:06But the women's team looking to advance here.
00:08You take a look at USA and Germany.
00:10Just to advance.
00:11Heavy favorite for Team USA at a minus 245 price.
00:14An unbelievable goal by Trinity Rodman pushed them through.
00:17What are the expectations today from Team USA going up against Germany on the pitch?
00:22I think they're winning and what I'm kind of watching is, is this, you know, the beginning
00:27of if Team USA gets through, which I think they will, and you could hit, maybe hit the
00:32over on that one as well.
00:33Does it set up a matchup against Spain, which I really believe could be our next gen rivalry.
00:40You know, Spain has really come on, on the women's soccer scene.
00:43They were able to win the World Cup.
00:44They've advanced in this first Olympics.
00:46They've looked really good.
00:48They beat Team USA for the first time in a friendly in 2022.
00:52So if Team USA gets through today, plays Spain in that gold medal match, that's a lot
00:57of fun to me because it'll carry over.
01:00And that women's team, at least for me personally, I've been looking for them to have a true
01:04rival.
01:05One that could go through a decade and really help grow the sport.
01:08And I think Spain might be that team.
01:10I say all that and watch Brazil upset them.
01:14It will be a fascinating game today for Team USA.
01:19Again, those are the odds as of this moment, just to advance minus 280 for the Americans.
01:26They will, if they win, take on Spain.
01:30And like you mentioned, Bill, the Spaniards get a draw against Brazil.
01:33But Spain a hefty favor to also advance to the gold medal match at minus 355.
01:40So now we go to the odds to win that gold medal.
01:43Spain plus 125, 40 cents in front of the United States at plus 165.
01:50It's what the oddsmakers want.
01:52I think it's what the fans want to see in that gold medal match in the women's soccer
01:56tournament.
01:57Bill, how could you describe the stakes of what that gold medal match could be if it
02:01is the United States against Spain?
02:03Well, I think today could dictate that maybe those lines push closer together and you get
02:09almost what would be a virtual pick them on the football side.
02:13Sorry, I always compare everything to football, but it's just habit.
02:17And it could definitely make this game that much more interesting.
02:21I would take the value in Team USA there.
02:24It's going to be tough.
02:25It's a really hard match.
02:26You know, Spain has only given up like one goal before the medal round where they had
02:31the shootout with Colombia.
02:33They're really good team.
02:34And I think it'd just be a lot of fun to watch.
02:37Like for me, I love great rivalries.
02:39You guys know that.
02:40So I think that could be the start of one here on the women's soccer side.
