U.S. Soccer defender John Tolkin talks about Team USA drawing the opening match against France in Marseilles at the Paris Olympics.
The 2024 Olympics officially kicked off early, ahead of the Opening Ceremony, with several big soccer matches Wednesday, among other events.
Competition started Wednesday morning, but all eyes will be on Team USA as they take on host country France later in the day.
And with two Chicago-area athletes - Gabriel Slonina and Djordje Mihailovich - on Team USA, there will be no shortage of things to watch as both countries hit the pitch.
