On July 25, in the first round of Group A for the Olympic men’s football tournament, the United States lost 0-3 to host nation France. At the post-match press conference, US Olympic team coach Mitrovic was not convinced by the result, believing that his team did not perform up to its capabilities.
In his post-match assessment, Mitrovic stated, “I don’t think this was a fair result. We shouldn’t have lost like this. The team needs to learn from this experience in the upcoming matches.”
Mitrovic also rallied his team, saying, “Despite losing our first match, I still have confidence we can advance from the group stage. I hope we can make it to the final and face France again.”
After the match, US men’s football player Busio commented, “We were up against one of the best teams in the tournament. I think we showed ourselves well in the first 60 minutes. But in such an important competition, you absolutely cannot lose focus. This is the profound lesson this match has taught us.”
