The quarterfinal match of the women's football tournament at the 2024 Olympics between the USA and Japan has concluded. The game took place at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, France.
The USA team won 1-0, scoring the only goal in extra time. The winning goal was scored by forward Trinity Rodman in the 105+2 minute.
Trinity is the daughter of five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman, who had his best years playing for the Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons. Additionally, she is considered the brightest hope for American football. She became the youngest footballer ever drafted into the NWSL and has already scored three goals at this Olympics in Paris. Together with Sophia Smith and Mallory Swanson, Rodman forms a trio that is called the "Triple Threat" in the USA. They are highly regarded.
It is worth noting that Trinity's relationship with her father is strained due to Dennis's struggles with alcohol addiction. Trinity has admitted in interviews that her father does not play a significant role in her life.
