The game also represented equal rights for woman showing that they won in a man’s sport while making it well known in the 1999 the U.S. winning the soccer game comes to mind.
All about the game
The Trophy
The Woman
The Crowd
This is what Kristi Mayo said when I asked her what she heard about in the game of 1999.
I remember watching the final game of the 1999 Women’s World Cup, sitting on the literal edge of my seat as China and USA battled stride for stride on the soccer pitch.
what impact did it have?
“Would it make women's soccer a major sport in this country? It didn't of course, two women's leagues folded before the current, sensibly run, federation-backed version got going. Would it lead to greater respect for women's sports in general and more coverage?” Woman playing would show a lot of respect because they won if the U.S. didn’t win the question is sports are for men only.
why was is important
“The final FIFA Women's World Cup of the century launched the beginning of a new era of success for women's football and was a milestone in the history of women's sports.”
