Where to stream: Peacock, DirecTV Stream, Discovery+ (UK) with VPN
TV Channel: Telemundo
Date, Start Time: Friday, Aug. 2, 3 pm ET/noon PT
The powerhouse teams are the most recent World Cup winners (Argentina in 2022 and France in 2018), but France hasn't won an Olympic soccer medal since 1984 when they took gold. Argentina, on the other hand, won gold in the 2004 and 2008 games.
France cruised through its first two games of the 2024 Olympics tournament, beating Team USA, Guinea, and New Zealand without penalty shootouts. Argentina (which is missing star Lionel Messi) had a bit more trouble, losing 2-1 to Morocco before beating Iraq and Ukraine in the group stage.
