USWNT

The Stars and Stripes are so far the most competitive team in women's football at national team level. They have won it all and are living a golden generation with athletes who are not only a reference not only on the pitch, but also on the field.
The Americans have won four Olympic gold medals: Atlanta 1996, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and London 2012. They also have a silver medal from Sydney 2000. In the last competition in Rio de Janeiro 20016 they surprisingly finished in the quarter-finals in fifth place overall.
