Every so often I come back to watch this documentary... these women were incredible.

[@stevenorrell1476]

I agree! And it’s hard to believe it’s been that long.

[@sing759]

I am here ..after 2019 world cup, France, final, US 2 - 0 Niederlande... still emotion to me... USWNT represents not just US but the rest of the world where they inspired not just women but also to those individual who never give up and dare to dream and shine.

[@kikoayari1962]

Still one of my best spots documentary ever.

[@TrueSephiros]

Omgosh, I was 17 years old back in 1999 and I'd forgotten how beastly this Women's Soccer Team really was. Michelle Akers was an Absolute Monster and I love her personality on the field as well, because she 100% had the Killer Instinct and the "I'm going to show No Mercy." Mentality. I will always

[@holeman1]

Great videos of the trailblazers who established women's soccer.

[@lizfinkelstein1323]

Mia Hamm may not have been the fastest or the first picked, but she scored a lot of the goals, looked great on tv, and was pretty with a wholesomeness. Companies were right to pick her out of the pack.

[@patrick4662]

She was awesome

[@mjs1557]

The point where Lil saved the corner was amazing she most likely saved women's soccer in the world with that one save. China scores we lose and if we lose women's soccer probably tanks completely and probably never resurfaces anywhere in the world ever again. So one Hope Solo should be ashamed of herself with some of the antics she had made or done or caused against Lil. Not for Lil Hope probably never gets to play soccer for a living, so Hope shouldn't be hating Lil, Hope should be bowing down and kissing Lil's feet and thanking her for that what Lil has done for the game of women's soccer.

[@SOBE702]

Amen

[@guittadabe5214]

What Lil, Brianna, Mia, and so many others built, Megan Rapinoe and her merry band of harpies are intent on destroying during what should have been their greatest triumph.

[@kikoayari1962]

Mia's humble character made her look the best.I watched it live back then.China lost as U.S.A patriotism where U.S.A had lost against Norway as Final always brings more stimulus and boosts.So far.

[@kikoayari1962]

Mia's brother's influence had affected her to become an icon.

[@ExxylcrothEagle]

This makes me proud to be an American, and I don't say that very often.

[@sing759]

I watched it from satellite TV 1999 final, back then no internet and you can't watch football without satellite tv from Asia and it was so expensive to pay for the satellite card. Both team were so good.. China was really good as well, I think physically US beat them, when it come to corner kick.

[@leannemclennan3090]

They're so good with the fans!!!!!

[@DevinKaschak]

I remember these days especially while in high school i played soccer and i told my parents when i got my uniform every year i made sure my numbwr was 9 like mia she was my true inspiration and only one year i wore 10 michelle number and that was when i improved and scored. I told my dad i will be like mia but as i got older my body had different plans. But slightly after high school i met julie and a few others and got my picture with her and autograph the best thing ever their all an inspiration ❤❤❤

[@annajapana]

oh snap! i remember watching those pert plus commercials when i was little!!

[@merseydave1]

Great documentary on US Women's "FOOTBALL" that was the first "FOOTBALL" match I ever saw live on the web, as a Englishman I can say without doubt that US Women are still the best in "WORLD FOOTBALL". Through the 1970s&1980s England were on top...but no world cup then to prove it...we (England) have a lot of catching up to do,,,using your methods! To End..the World name for The World Game is FOOTBALL.

[@ExxylcrothEagle]

As an American I can say yes it most certainly is: football

The 90's team boycotts Olympics because of unequal pay, the 19ers sue the federation for the same reason

[@PaintRoses]

I don't remember this game mostly because I was 4 years old at the time but the impact of these players has set all of them as my role models even 13 years later and I'm sure it has done the same for many others. And if I had one chance to go back in time I would go to the USA vs China game. :) And GO USA BEAT JAPAN FOR THE GOLD!!

[@guittadabe5214]

These ladies made such an impact on the game. They were not nearly as highly paid as they are now. Not nearly as well supported. So they couldn't alienate any of their fans or potential fans. And they put in the hard work so that the current version could whine, complain, and PURPOSEFULLY alienate half the population of the United States because it feels good to let out your anger and hatred! What a difference!

[@kennyjdm4912]

When I brought the DVD at a blockbuster video store years . Am a big soccer fan. Played in high school . Women soccer would not be where is it at today if it wasn't for this team . They worked they butt off

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

Wow, both the USA goalie and China's goalie were off the line on those PKs. Nowadays any of those that were blocked would have had to be retaken. That said, it's still an epic set of PKs.

[@kikoayari1962]

Mia stood up for her brother is very important.I remember 1998 hhhh.Football is a great sport.

[@kikoayari1962]

In football, struggling yourself is not easy especially if you have the disease of fatigue.

After watching this, It gives me hope to play and pursue my dreams to play pro and I'm a guy! Its like if they can make a difference then anyone can. Look at the USA's womens national team now cuz theyre freakin amazing

[@kikoayari1962]

Jersey City New Jersey because of memorable moments as the final World Cup versus China.Common. I totally had respected 1996's team.

[@PACourtesy]

The debate for me the was about the whether or not the law existed, but you raise a valid point. The law is still not enforced as well as it should be, but what my instructors pointed out is that once the game is on the worldwide stage, it becomes entertainment. That's why some players get away with wearing jewellery or the fact that handball is called very harshly, because it then creates scoring opportunities. A penalty re-take isn't very dramatic, usually someone just feels cheated.

[@kikoayari1962]

Mia started from scratch.She remind me of Tunjsia.Inspiration with resent intentions equal blessing in Tunisia.

[@pierreclinton]

I loved 🥰 it when she took off her white shirt after she scored a goal 🥅 against China 🇨🇳 years ago and(I seen her sports bra showing since she and her team defeated China 🇨🇳 years ago and I loved 🥰 the way she does it.) and that’s amazing 🤩 times I have with sports ⚽️.👍

[@user-uj9zj4uv5r]

This is a cool documentary

[@kikoayari1962]

Penalty kicks what i like most because if you stop two shots as a goalkeeper then you are a hero.I could.

[@ExxylcrothEagle]

Mia Hamm destroyed my hair for 90 minutes one time!!! 🤣

[@NoGoodNames20]

“You can win all the world cups you want, until you win Olympic gold you’re not really validated.” This seems backwards to me.

[@joselegaspi2549]

It is, only the US thinks like this.

[@mazdakmina9493]

In the women's game, that's how it was back then. They literally mention in this documentary that FIFA refused to even put their name on the first women's world cup (they literally sold the naming rights to M&M's and it was the "M&M's Women's World Cup") because it was considered *that* "unimportant!" The women's world cup was barely televised and had a tiny audience worldwide! So yes, the Olympics in 1996 was massive! For the very first time, billions of people would be watching the top female soccer players in the world (yes, it was and still is *very* different from the men's game, where far more soccer fans watch the World Cup than the Olympics because the Olympics is mostly a U-23 event)! Again, all of this was before the FIFA Women's World Cup 1999, when the world cup became as watched in the US as the same event in the Olympics. So yes, the entire world really was "upside down" back then compared to the men's game - from the way female athletes were treated, to their pay, to the events, etc.

[@robertpalatsky5017]

Gao almost sounds conceeded when she says "I was relly confused. I couldn't focus on my game. No body would look at me", I'm thinking that sounds conceded and very strange for an athlete to say

[@checkeredsuit9105]

Yes, it was a rule that was put into writing in 1997, but it was never enforced until the last few years. Since FIFA had simplified many rules that year and refs still weren't following the rules FIFA made the refs follow the rule book much closer and the rule you two are arguing is one of those. Brazil men and women were notorious for doing exactly what Scurry did on that save. Just like the 6 second rule. It's in the book, but it's rarely enforced because FIFA doesn't make the refs enforce it.

[@elixxeo1]

So so so emotional...

[@sparksoffyou]

Glad they won but Scurry was like 30 yards off her line.

[@alexgonzalez6371]

Yeah if that was today it would never be allowed

[@braininahat]

They beat China in finals, and as an American I cheered my ass off when I watched it, but Briana Scurry was cheating off her line like no other. Refs did a terrible job on those PKs.

[@moniquej2997]

Wow this money dispute with US Soccer goes back to the original team. I think it's about time they paid these women the same as the men

[@crazygamer241]

"Until you win olympic gold, your not really validated" hmmmmm, not sure on that.

[@ExxylcrothEagle]

Bro I have 9 Olympic silvers and no one respects me 😆

[@PACourtesy]

Yes, stay on the line until the ball is KICKED. She is WELL off her line BEFORE the ball is kicked. Once the ball is kicked the keeper can do whatever they want, even today. I just reviewed this information again three weeks ago at an Advanced Laws of the Game clinic for referees. You are misunderstanding the law.

[@kikoayari1962]

90 thousand audiences as underdog tried revenge as a faisable final.

[@kikoayari1962]

you save one you'rs a hero,you save two you building milillineam what?.

[@troymyck6519]

Awesome!!

[@GoUSAWorldCup]

Look, as much as I completely love US Soccer and its history, Brianna Scurry shouldn't have been running off her line like that during penalty kicks. She should've been called on that.

[@dinaross2463]

[@kikoayari1962]

why decisive 5th penalty kick!?.

[@LindseyLF1990]

The rule of goal keeper not being able to be off their line during a penalty kick did not exist in 1999. Nice try.

[@kikoayari1962]

Bill Clinton approachable gesture was impeccable as a U.S president.

[@AlpacaNYC]

Uhm was it legal to leave the goal THAT far ahead at 29:40 ???

[@LindseyLF1990]

This coming from the country that didn't know that they could be penalized with a 6 second rule that can give the opponent an indirect free kick after admitting being told to quit time wasting. Yeah I'll definitely take your word on it -_-. Do you have a link to where I can read these rules from 1997-1999 since you're upset over it 14 years later?

[@PACourtesy]

Yeah, where did you find that Foggy? 1997 change in FIFA's Laws of the Game: Law XIV - The Penalty Kick The new text states "The goalkeeper remains on his own goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts until the ball has been kicked". The phrase "without moving his feet" has been deleted. Nice try.

The commentary “ soccer is the worst “ play 90 minutes of it and then 30 minutes and then tell me if you don’t want to finish somehow ! Penalties is the most exciting and dramatic way to do it

Women's World cup has only been around since 1991 and women are being payed more than men per percentage of revenue being brought in women will be payed more as women's football is watched by more fans becomes more competitive and higher quality and brings in more money you think Pele the King👑of football the greatest.of.all.time. was payed as much money as football players today who aren't as good? Of course not but players like the King👑Pele the greatest.of.all.time had to pave the way.❤️⚽
