There are some huge clashes on tap for Sunday as the women's soccer competition enters its second round of matches at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The 12-team field will know the identity of a few knockout-round entrants as well as perhaps an eliminated team by the end of the day.
Two third-place teams will reach the quarterfinal round, so there can be some margin for error even for 0-2 teams, but let's take a look at what's in store for Sunday.
Olympic women's soccer preview: July 28
The day begins with huge stakes in Lyon, where New Zealand and Colombia enter their match coming off one-goal losses.
The Colombian side will be down Mayra Ramirez thanks to a late red card that helped short-circuit its comeback bid versus France, while New Zealand saw an early lead disappear against Canada. Either team losing could wind up seeing it out of the tournament by day's end. Brazil (1-0) and Japan (0-1) also meet at 11 a.m. ET.
Australia and Zambia enter their 1 p.m. meeting in desperate positions, each falling by 3-0 scores in their group opener. World Cup champs Spain kick off at the same time and hope to send Nigeria to 0-2.
The end of the day is where things really hit their peak.
The USWNT and Germany both looked nearly imperious in their openers and would love to seal a spot against a third-placed team in the quarterfinals with a win at 3 p.m. ET. That time's other kickoff is just as fun, with hosts France vying with controversial defending gold medalists Canada.
Will Sophia Smith play?
Forward Sophia Smith started the USWNT's opener against Zambia, but shortly before halftime was subbed out.
It's still unclear why this happened, but Smith was reportedly back at training Saturday and is apparently good to go for Sunday.
When's the last time the USWNT won Olympic gold?
The USWNT last won Olympic gold at the 2012 London Games, beating Japan 2-1 for its third straight title.
It hasn't made a gold medal match since, exiting the 2016 Rio Olympics in a stunning 1-1 (4-3) quarterfinal loss via penalty shootout to Sweden, and taking bronze in Tokyo following a controversial 0-1 semifinal defeat to Canada.
