With a perfect group stage in the rearview mirror, the U.S. women's national team now looks to tackle the unforgiving knockouts as the squad meets Japan in the quarterfinals at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Looking to reverse last summer's disappointing Women's World Cup exit, the USWNT secured three wins from three to top Group B. But the team is down a number of key players ahead of a difficult matchup, as Tierna Davidson and Jaedyn Shaw remain sidelined with fitness concerns, while Sam Coffey is suspended.

Still, the USWNT looks ready for a medal challenge as Emma Hayes has her roster cooking, having brushed aside a strong Group B at each attempt.

Japan, meanwhile, finished second in their group behind Spain, defeating Brazil and Nigeria after falling 2-1 to the defending Women's World Cup champions.

USWNT vs. Japan live updates, highlights from 2024 Olympics

45 mins to kickoff: Incredibly, Japan head coach Futoshi Ikeda has made SEVEN alterations to the starting lineup from the final group match against Nigeria.

Emma Hayes has been defiant against suggestions that she should rotate her squad in any kind of way this tournament, pushing back against questions about her use of Sam Coffey in the final group match where she was suspended. Ikeda, meanwhile, has chopped and changed this entire Olympic tournament and does so to the extreme here.

An illustration of Futoshi Ikeda's rotation for Japan at the #Olympics:

Five of the six outfield players on Japan's bench today vs. #USWNT have started at least 1 game so far this tournament. Three of them started 2 games. None started all 3 group matches.

1 hour to kickoff: The lineups are in, and it's just as we expected for the United States. Korbin Albert starts for the suspended Sam Coffey, while Emily Sonnett continues along the back line in place of the injured Tierna Davidson. Nothing else changes for Emma Hayes who defiantly pushed back against suggestions of squad rotation at any point in this tournament.

1 hour 15 mins to kick: While lineups have not yet been announced, U.S. Soccer has revealed that Jaedyn Shaw has proven fit to return to the matchday squad after missing the group stage with a leg injury suffered in pre-tournament training. Yet Tierna Davidson has not recovered from the knee contusion she suffered in the second match, so alternate Emily Sams remains in the squad.
