The USWNT will take on Sweden in the first elimination round of the 2016 Olympics.
The United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) tied Colombia 2-2 on Tuesday, August 9, to win their Olympic group.
The USWNT had already clinched its spot in the quarterfinals after its 1-0 win against France on Saturday, but a tie or a win against Colombia would grant them an easier quarterfinal opponent.
Although the USWNT successfully finished group play at the top of their group, the draw against Colombia was a surprising result for most fans for a number of reasons.
