play

Group play rolls on in men’s soccer at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Saturday.

And if the first day of group play on Wednesday showed anything, Saturday’s slate of matches will surely be entertaining and highly competitive.

Argentina will kick off the slate of games on Saturday as the champions of the 2024 Copa America take on Iraq at 9 a.m. ET in Lyon, France at Lyon Stadium. Legendary soccer player Lionel Messi will not suit up for Argentina and Javier Mascherano at the Summer Olympics, citing the Olympics as being “too much” for him at age 37 after playing in Copa America earlier this month on top of playing his MLS schedule with Inter Miami.

Spain, whicn won silver at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, will take on Dominican Republic in its second game of Group C play at 9 a.m. ET on Saturday.

Headlining Saturday’s slate of matches for American audiences will be the United States vs. New Zealand match at 1 p.m. ET inside Marseille Stadium, in Marseille. Similar to Argentina’s situation with Messi, the United States roster in Paris will not feature anyone from the U.S. Men’s National Team, who finished with a disappointing third-place finish in the group stage at the Copa America earlier this month.
