Redemption teams! Congrats!

US women football team - lose in the World Cup Round of 16, win Olympic gold

US men basketball team - lose in the World Cup Semifinals, win Olympic gold

The U.S. is atop the international men’s basketball world once again, after Curry scored 24 points — all on 3-pointers — and led the way to a 98-87 win over France in the final at the Paris Games on Saturday night. It was the fifth consecutive gold medal for the U.S. and the 17th in 20 all-time appearances for the Americans at the Games.

This is what happens when the US brings their A-Team! And once they finally won the 1st Quarter, y'know it's not gonna take another big comeback

Arguably the greatest basketball shooter in the world, Chef Curry finally showed up the last 2 games! Only 5 3-pointers the first 4 games in the Olympics, then 9 in the semifinals and 8 in the finals - that's 17 3-pointers by himself!

It was the eighth time in Olympic history — and Sunday’s women’s final between the U.S. and France will mark the ninth — that the home team got to play for basketball gold.

Home teams are now 5-3 in those games, 2-1 on the men’s side. The U.S. men and women both won in 1984 and 1996; the women of the Soviet Union won in 1980, while Australia’s women lost to the U.S. in 2000 and Japan’s women also lost to the U.S. at the Tokyo Games three years ago.

LOL, all those home losses are to the US
