Lisa Carlin, Darian Jenkins, and Sandra Herrera were live immediately following the US Women's Olympic victory over Brazil to win the Gold Medal in Paris, France. First up, the ladies discuss the expectations the US side had going in, the starting XI's for both teams, and question why Brazil left Marta on the bench for so long. Next, the ladies break down the strategies that both sides deployed, Brazil's missed opportunites, and the "BelieveBall" mentality the US showed. Then, a breakdown of the second half, Mallory Swanson's game-winning goal, and how the game opened up into a track meet. Next, the A3 crew talk about what has changed overall for the USWNT, what Emma Hayes has learned from this particular group of players, and where Jaedyn Shaw has been this whole time. And finally, the ladies identify their respective Player of the Tournament.
