Tomorrow, the quarter-final matches of Olympic Womens Football 2024 will commence with four high-stakes encounters.

The United States Womens National Team will face Japan in the opening match, followed by Spain against Colombia, Canada versus Germany, and France concluding the quarter-finals with a game against Brazil.

In the exciting group stage, the United States boasted the strongest attack with nine goals scored, followed by Germany with eight goals.

Conversely, the Nigerian teams weakest attacking line was that of the Nigerian team, which scored only one goal, while Brazil and New Zealand each scored two goals.

On the defensive front, the Spanish team had the strongest defence, conceding only one goal.

They were followed by Brazil and Canada, each conceding just two goals.

In contrast, Zambias defence was the weakest, conceding 13 goals, followed by Australias, which conceded 10 goals.

Although these statistics and probabilities are insightful, it is widely acknowledged that knock-out matches are typically thrilling and full of surprises that can alter the course of the competition.

One such surprise could be a team leveraging set-pieces as a decisive factor to advance to the next round.

In this tactical analysis of the Olympics 2024 womens football, we will discuss the key distinguishing tactics of the eight teams regarding set pieces and what we can wait for in these important games.

United States Vs Japan

Starting with the US Womens National Team (USWNT), who got the full nine points in the group stage, they love flicks from the area before the near post in many different ways.

In the photo below, the opponent defends with six zonal defenders inside the six-yard line, three player-to-player markers, and a rebound defender while the USWNT targets the highlighted player, who uses her mate as a screen going around her to get rid of her marker.

Note: In basketball, a screen is the use of a mate to block the targeted players marker to free her.

In the photo below, the screens effect is clear, while the other two runners have a next role to go to the near post to get the ball if it is overhit, framing the balls bath.

The second benefit of the targeted players starting position is that she comes from the first zonal defenders blind side, meaning that she will have trouble getting her attention while tracking the ball in the air.
