@Alexander Vuletich thanks you

Fun fact: so were Pinoe and CP23

Why do Americans always refer to it as the Usa ' National ' team? The Usa " IS " a nation , not a club team.

@@blissdelpopolo6322 and like alot of the 2021/2022 team

@@richard6440 I agree Richard. Maybe just _Team USA_ then. Or, Yank Squad.

@@richard6440 The United States have the NWSL (national women’s soccer league) which are club teams all around the country in various cities/states. Other countries do too, like Europe. Those club teams are different than the “national” team. The clubs do not compete with other countries, they compete against each other. For example, the Portland Thorns vs. North Carolina Courage. The USWNT (United States Womens National Team) competes with countries all around the world and complete in these tournaments like the SheBelieves Cup, The World Cup, The Olympics, etc. Players from NWSL clubs and college athletes are called into training camps for the USWNT. It’s a very selective and highly competitive team to be apart of. Hope this answered your question :)

no, it was not. not even close. "Influential" , yes. But "greatest"....????

How about the 2019 team playing in 🇫🇷 France?

it is FOOTBALL

I'm pretty sure the 1994 World Cup, held in the US did all of that first.

@@sperrin There was no 1994 World Cup. The first one was in 1991 held in China. Four years later the next one was 1995 in Sweden. 1999 was the first World Cup in the USA.

@@sperrin You're probably talking about the 1996 Olympics held in Atlanta, USA. The United States soccer team was aboslutely iconic there. There is a video of one player celebrating a goal by sliding onto the ground and her teammates surround her that was especially popular.

@@AlphabetCookie There was definitely a 1994 World Cup. I've literally written a 300,000 world book on the World Cup following 3.5 years of research and I definitely wrote a lengthy chapter about the 1994 World Cup. I know because I was there when I wrote it. Just Google 1994 World Cup and tell me what pops up. If not for that 1994 World Cup in the US, this one would never have gone to the US and the 1994 World Cup was the most attended and watched tournament in its history. The 1994 World Cup was what got the sport noticed and more popular in America before this one. As I said, the 1994 World Cup did it all before this one did.

I was in US watching in a little bar in White Mountains New Hampshire when we were beaten by you last world cup in 2019. Hoping I get to see England lift the trophy for the first time ever on Sunday, would have loved a US - ENG final.

Lol same

2000s kid

Great game. I watched this game live.

In fact, that incident happend in 2001, 2 years later

@@dedecaca oh yeah. Messed up. It was actually the incident that the U.S. (NATO) plane bombed the Chinese embassy building in Yugoslavia and killed three Chinese citizens on May 7 1999.

I was 10.

I was -4

That’s awesome Jim!!

I wasn’t even born

@@romahnae have u ever played FIFA 16 bro?

"warriors" 🤣🤣🤣

They are WARRIORS 💪💪💪

I know

She said in an interview that she did it until she was told to stop but the ref never stopped her

Dishonest, totally unfair!

Hayden Pasternak when did that happen?

@@benjiboosimon547 why in 1999 the rules were too relaxed?

Sarcasm, right?

Agata Lissidini wiwi

"legends"??? Where are the legends??? Are you talking about Zidane, Cruyff, Lev Yashin, Pelé, Maradona, Laudrup, Van Basten, Cannavaro or Platini? Because these are legends!

Cornelius Scipio Exactly

Cornelius Scipio r u dumb

Jess M rules were not implemented not only for women’s soccer but also for men’s game back then!

Yes, Scurry was always off two steps before the ball was struck. The Chinese keeper didn't pull that nonsense. Scurry would have made the save anyway although it is a.little embarrassing judging her movement from today's standard.

FOOTBALL, NOT SOCCER!!!

@@corneliusscipio777 1. It's "Association Football" Not "Football" 2. "Soccer" is slang for "Association" The word "Soccer" was created by the English & was almost interchangeable in Britain up until the 1980's. 3. It's very possible that Americans have been calling the sport "Soccer" longer then the sport has been in your country.

@@steelpanther4449 Football= shortened form for "Association Football". In Britain is never used the word "Soccer", the affirmation "was used interchangeable until the 1980's" was made by an Autor from Michigan, USA (then, not objective). The Sport in my Country? our Association was created in 1898, 16 years before american ones. We have 4 World Cups, USA is nothing in Football ;)

usa goal keeper was wayyy off her line at 2:12:09

While I agree, both keepers did it multiple times and didn’t call it. Also I keep re watching Parlow get taken out in the box at 14:20 ish and idk if it is just the poor quality but it looks like such a bad foul that was not called.

15:25 video time

@@ktscreativeescape The ball is neutral, and so if you get to it first and the collision happens thereafter, it is not a foul. A big clue also is the lack of reaction from the American player. So, no matter how "bad" it looks, if she gets the ball first, it is NOT a foul.

Chinese girls played so well too. Consider it was US host and took a lot of advantages.

Nana Daiba watched this also...

Elizabeth Rhaney scurry with the block!?! You mean Scurry with the cheat!!!

She had the block and yes it was a rule but it wasn’t really In forced back then. The game and the rules have gotten better now and they inforce them way more than they did but because we’ve grown with watching the game with these rules Inforced we are so use to it being that way so when we see a game like this from 20 years ago it’s going to look different and it’s going to be changed so yeah she did have a block

@@greghearth2639 In a documentary Scurry said she knew what she did was breaking the rule but since the ref did not stop her she was not gonna say anything

@@LOVE..Sherelle I played keeper for many years, even back in the 90s, and every keeper has always known about the rule prohibiting premature forward movement by the keeper. Think about it, if it WASN'T a rule, then what would stop a keeper from just standing right in front of the penalty spot and making it impossible for the ball to even move forward an inch? So yeah, of course she knew. But even in light of the extremeley lax enforcement of the rule back then, her movement does strike me as quite egregious. Although that is NOT to say that it should be considered cheating. Truth is, nearly every serious keeper would cheat forward a bit. It was considered bad form to NOT get in a little premature jump forward, as the Chinese keeper did in this match (to her disadvantage). It is up to the REF to draw that distinction between a customary forward hop just before the kick, and a giant leap way too long before the kick. The ref's decision is actually pretty shocking here. But Scurry made the intelligent, competitive play.

@@McPickleness yes, ultimately the problem lies with the referee. It was the match point that gave the US the win and they decided to overlook it.

love jp

Not for Thailand

Alma Baltazar People don't want to keep seeing the US beating up other teams

Yes...I would love to see that game again. People are saying that it was "slaughter" and that the U.S was "beating" up the other team. Quite frankly, it would've been more disrespectful to Thailand if the U.S didn't play 100% the entire time. They were a new team and they will come back even better.

@@isabelsandoval8600 I absolutely agree. Like isn't the object of the game to score as many chances as you get to win? Plus it was the world cup like come on every team is going to bring 120%.to the game. People are just arrogant but at least we can agree it was iconic 🙂

Alma Baltazar Iconic huh? They played a team that is less developed and far far behind them. Thailand's defense was absolutely horrible. Every usa player had years to pass and shoot and was just waiting in the box unmarked, but I guess this is your definition of iconic right. And honestly who couldn't put a ball past a goalie that is 140cm tall and scared to go for the ball🤭

You're just finding it.

This was heavily televised back in ‘99. ESPN still airs the Women’s World Cup. But for like a regular game of women’s soccer? No, I’ve honestly never seen it on tv.

Fox televises the World for men and women now. Fox has 2022 men, 2023 women and 2026 men.

If you've only ever seen 1 match of women's football. Both teams had played far better matches in this very tournament.

And the Chinese keeper stayed on her line. Glad the USA won, but terrible refereeing on the PK's. Scurry was 3-4 yards forward off the line.

Hello it was before the rules were made for goalkeepers. So it’s better not to complain about goalkeepers in the past how they saved or not. The rules stared later! History is history and past is past! You can see how the rules have been changing by the time! See we have VAR now which wasn’t implemented before and there is different rules for goalkeepers as well. Things change by the time. So no complain for the past games but just appreciate it guys.

Paradise The rule is not new you know? The rule WAS THERE in the little rule book. The problem was that nobody respected it

@@paradise9981 WRONG........... Not 2-4 yards off the line... Again, America Cheated again

most goalies would push off their line early and no ref called it, best example i can remember where it happened again is liverpool vs milan in 2005, liverpool’s goalie repeatedly pushed off the line and it was later enforced afterwards

AKI E BRASIL PORRA

Who cares

One time she actually got red carded, I believe it was at the 1995 World Cup if I remember right. Mia Hamm actually had to take over for her as goal keeper. You can find the video.

Unfortunately its standard practice these days. I would prefer to have pillar bars on the side and keep the original aspect ratio. Also when old video like this is stretched out, it tends to make the picture really grainy

Agreed

Casi se salía de la cancha jaja. Me pregunto si antes no eran tan estrictos con esa regla
