Athletes to watch out for at the 2024 Paris Olympics

In a 3-nil loss to Germany to open their Paris campaign, which may haunt the Matildas for the rest of the Olympic Games, no player rated more than seven and just two with a rating of six and above.

Matildas’ coach Tony Gustavsson could only warrant a rating of three.

His decision to put Cortnee Vine upfront might follow him around this tournament. It was a mostly untested move that didn’t pay off. Gustavsson didn’t stray from his usual decisions – failing to make any half time changes. In his own words the ‘they weren’t ready’ – and that has to sit on his shoulders.
