20 years ago, on July 10, 1999, Brandi Chastain and the United States Women’s National Team captured the hearts of a nation when they beat China in the finals of the Women’s World Cup™. That game famously went to penalty kicks, with Chastain scoring the game winner — and following up with a celebration that became the stuff of legend. Two decades later, she relives that epic moment and tells the story of what happened to her famous sports bra, plus gives a heartfelt message to those she inspired around the world as an icon of women’s soccer.

What do you remember most about this historic match?
Oh, my God! The emotions of that! Like a lot of females said, the US women soccer paved the way for so many! Including mine, it made my love for soccer even more because of them! So thank you ladies
That save was illegal
Love this video! OMG, this is why I treasure the 99'ers and all they have done for USA SOCCER, WOMEN SPORTS and love of country!!!! True hero's, inspirational to all people! Humble, strong, confident, INSPIRATIONAL American Women!!! Brandi and Julie should coach the USWNT!!! ❤ 🇺🇸 ❤
One of the greatest moments in American sports.
I was just a kid in an airport when this final was happening. They had it playing on every single TV available, flights were being delayed because of the penalty shootout, whole crowds of people were just stopped in their tracks watching it all.
Sports can bring the worst out of us, but they can also bring us together. I've watched every World Cup since, anyone that thinks this game isn't thrilling to watch is dead inside, IMO.
The 2023 USWNT team should’ve listened to her speech before each game
USA, a badass nation !
That penalty saved by US goalkeeper should not have been counted. Keeper advanced before the shot was made.
Back when we had a team to cheer for. Epic.
Rapinoe missing her shot in 2023 WC is a really close second!!!
but yeah, this was a really classic team!!!
As an 8yr old little black girl this made me get into soccer. To see a black goalie😮Mia Hamm was my girl ⚽️
The players seemed to make more of their penalty kicks backs in 1999. I was so happy to see Brandi make the kick!
Isn’t it illegal for the goalie to talkie a step forward?
Great team, great players, great memories! That was my introduction to the USWNT. I still have the ESPN magazine with that pic! Still following successive national teams to this day.
When Americans rooted for the Women's soccer team.
I loved these women because they loved our country. I watched every minute.
I rooted against this current team.
Back when this sport wasn't about Megan Rapinoe's idiot life agenda.
Played mixed team soccer in Junior high with 3 girls on our team. Played in high school and the girls soccer team practiced on the fields with us, often we'd scrimmage or run drills together. We were often in the same bus travelling to games. The boys and girls soccer teams in our school attended each others post season games if we could. When this team in 1999 won, it made me so proud because all I could think of was how many of my sisters who played the game would be acknowledged in a new way… we cherished and respected girls soccer, that was never an issue, but now the world could see that the USA had a strong dominant women's team in the sport of soccer. I hope that the Women's National Team returns to this team's sentiments – its about the Team, its about the US and its about sport/soccer… Its not about ME, its not about politics or any one person's social agenda.
So I still don't get it…a girl wins and instinctively rips her top off? When I win do I pull down my pants? Really, I don't get the connection. Obviously others don't either because it ended there.
You are awesome! Never change. You have inspired a generation!
