A year after capturing the World Cup, the U.S. women's soccer team is looking to win another prestigious crown. On Sunday, the defending Olympic champions put themselves one game away from the gold medal, defeating Brazil 1-0 and advancing to Thursday’s final against Norway. Brazil's defense targeted U.S. forward Mia Hamm, but Hamm prevailed, scoring the game's only goal in the 60th minute.
