What Is at Stake
A fifth consecutive World Cup gold for the United States would tie the Soviet Union’s record of five straight, set between 1959 and 1975. The Americans have won four in a row and six of the last seven tournaments going back to 1998. Their winning streak at the World Cup now stands at 35 games, dating to a semifinal loss to Russia in 2006.
For France, this is the chance to settle 2024. The Americans beat them by a single point in the Olympic gold medal game in Paris.
