Match Stats

Exceeding expectations in the group stage, Olympic hosts France matched Japan as one of only two teams to win all three of their group matches in the men's football tournament. They scored seven goals and kept three clean sheets in the process.

Thierry Henry's unstoppable squad made an early statement in Group A with a 3-0 victory over the United States. Despite having to wait until the second half for all three goals, they repeated this pattern when Kiliann Sildillia's 75th-minute strike secured a win against Guinea.
Quickly putting behind them the painful and contentious loss to Morocco in their opening match, Argentina easily defeated Iraq and Ukraine to secure second place in Group B, just behind their African rivals.

Tied with Morocco on points, goal difference, goals scored, and goals conceded, Argentina's contentious defeat to the Atlas Lions relegated them to second place based on head-to-head results. However, their short-lived Olympic drought is now history.

Prediction:  Argentina +0.25
