The opening round of softball has yet to be completed, but the matchup for the gold medal game is already set.
Team USA will take on Japan in the gold medal game, as both teams have gone 4-0 in opening round play and have clinched the top two spots. The United States has won a gold or silver in every Olympic Games that it has competed in and will keep that trend alive.
It will be a rematch of the 2008 gold medal game, where Cat Osterman and Monica Abbott have a chance at revenge against the only team to take a gold medal away from the U.S.
