Who has the US played so far?

The U.S. women's soccer team beat Zambia 3-0, Germany 4-1, and Australia 2-1 in Marseille before reaching the quarterfinals.

The team then played Japan in the quarterfinals, winning 1-0 after Trinity Rodman scored the lone goal in the 105th minute in extra time.

In the semifinals, USWNT once again was involved in a low-scoring affair, with the game against Germany going into extra time scoreless. In the 95th minute, Sophia Smith put one in the back of the net, and the U.S. held off late scoring threats from the German team to advance to the final.

The U.S. women’s soccer team moves on to the semifinals after Trinity Rodman scored in extra time to lead her team over Japan on Saturday.

When was the last time the US won gold in women's soccer?

The U.S. will be looking to add to its 6 medals in this event, having won four Olympic gold medals, including three straight from 2004/2008/2012. But the USWNT has not won gold since 2012, and no player on the current team has won Olympic gold.

The team earned a bronze at the Tokyo Olympics.

Brazil has never won a gold medal at the Olympics in women's soccer. Their best result has been two silver medals, in 2004 and 2008.

The U.S. played Brazil in the 2004 and 2008 gold medal matches, coming out on top in extra time in both games to win gold. Marta, Brazil’s current captain, played in both matches. 

Marta, 38, will be returning to the pitch after being sidelined for the past two games due to a red card suspension.

The USWNT last played Brazil in March at the Concacaf women's Gold Cup, winning 1-0 with the goal coming from captain Lindsey Horan.
