This is when I fell in love with womens soccer and the USWNT 🇺🇸⚽️

This group was special. Just one of those things. It can never again be quite like this.

Julie Foudy has blossomed into one of the most knowledgeable, insightful, and eloquent commentators to ever call soccer matches. I always love it when she is covering a match. If she wants it, there will be a prominent position for her within the U.S. Soccer Federation or FIFA itself.

Excellent retrospective of a groundbreaking team. USA dominance in women's soccer started with these fantastic women, and it should never be forgotten.

This is where it all began for me as a fan of Women's Soccer, and I've followed them ever since. Akers, Hamm, Scurry etc🤗👏

Special thanks to Foudy for shooting this footage in the days before the Selfie Age, and to the team for sharing it with the world. 99ers still inspire!

I have had the fortune of seeing some of sports' greatest moments. The 1980 Miracle on Ice. The Ohio State University 2015 National Championship run. The 2016 Cavs coming back from 3-1. But nothing brings a tear to my eye more than this amazing group of pioneers. 99ers. The. Best. Team. EVER!!!

You can really see how close they were as friends which had to have impacted their game in numerous ways.

Watching this after the 2019 win really allows you to see that even 20 years later a team can have so much heart and camaraderie, and fun ofc

god! the Brandi/Krieger moment just get me chills! its amazing! :') there is no words for explain what im feeling, what a great documentary

"It's your home state!" "I know, I need to get the hell out." Loved Ms. Akers then, love her now.

I was at the Chicago game and it was like a video game, they were scoring goals so quickly I went to get beer and missed two goals. I don't think people still, do not understand the importance of this team and our women. As a soldier I've been around the world some and I've gotten to see how much of the rest of the world treats women. It isn't good. The fact that our women not only compete, but dominate says something about us as a culture and people. The importance of this cannot be overstated. In other countries women are treated only marginally better than goats, our women compete with the hearts of warriors and if you compare their game ( all women's games) versus the men's you'll notice how the men dive and carry on like babies to get calls and the women do not. I like watching women's games more. I wish those women would read this and know how much I appreciate their efforts and how grateful I am that they represent our nation to the world.

These ladies were superb during the 1999 world cup! America fell in love with these ladies and they rewarded us with a championship!

1999 World Cup final, the most significant game in the history of the United States Womens National Team.

Amazing group I remember watching this World Cup and I don’t even think they got paid they did this for the love of soccer and they followed their dreams I have a lot of respect for that team of 99 they are very humble and nice to see them together again

The chemistry friendship and bonding between this team was amazing and they had a lot of fun too was only 4 at the time so obviously I wasn't old enough to understand and watch this

Thank You 99ers and All Women U.S.A teams! We now have 4 stars which I happily watched! Can't wait to see MORE !!!

Holy shit, that double header goal was unbelievable!

I couldn't find more inspiration from a single video. Thank you for making history.

Wow!! I remember this but to see a whole other side of shy Mia Hamm... much respect

"hey the presidents coming down, so we have to keep our clothes on." hahaha!

Female Beach Volleyball players and Gymnasts wear super skimpy outfits that barely leave much to the imagination. Brandi exposes her sports bra and some people put up a fuss. Unbelievable.

Why hasn’t Hollywood made a movie about this? I don’t get it.

Legends will never be forgotten

Why why haven’t i seen this before. I didn’t get into women’s soccer until last maybe a few years ago. And more seriously until last year, but I’ve fallen in love with the past and current U.S. teams. They are a true inspiration. I’ve come to truly admire their dedication and warrior spirits. 99ers thank you for everything. 4th Star baby !!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I remember it like it was yesterday watching this game in the kitchen on a hot summer's Iowa afternoon. In my opinion the second greatest sports moment in United States history. 1980 us hockey team would be number one in my opinion as far as greatest sports moments.

I first watched this years ago and it pointed out something I've come back to recurrently ever since. In Brandi Chastain's words and also her coach's, about taking the last penalty to win it. That Brandi had probably taken that penalty 1,000 times in her head before. We all do as kids growing up in any soccer-mad country. But I can only think of 2 people that have actually had the opportunity to do so: Brandi and Fabio Grosso of Italy in 2006. It's unique and special to me to see that even if just for a few people, sometimes childhood dreams can become true.

One of the best teams of all-time, men's or women's. A personal favorite along with 2019 USWNT from a 44 year old male.

Still my favorite group!

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.

This is a time when the USWNT was proud to represent women in sports AND the USA!

Joy is so quiet, she had such an important goal in the Quarter Final

R.I.P Tony 😭😭😖😔

Thanks to these girls, now ladies, I was able to have a wonderful relationship with my daughters through soccer. Their impact was so, that my first daughter is named Mia. She has big cleats to fill. Thank you ladies. You’ll always be remembered.

from 2:29-2:34 when Julie begins looking around and closing her eyes I'll bet there were tears somewhere and she thought here I am again I was part of something timeless.

That kinda team spirit doesn't grow on trees. You have to let go of everything else and concentrate on only the present...

The best thing was there were no smartphones, the team bonded and was much more together. I miss 1999 it was a great year in my life. I was 18 and these group of Women introduced me to female soccer. This USA team made waves around the World. Special.

Best. Team. Inspirational. Team. Wonderful. Team. Powerful. Team. 99ers and inspiration to us all!

What a beautiful heartwarming film!❤

I kinda hate how Julie says old bags for da scene where Wambach, Morgan and Rampone all meet together wit Foudy, Hamm and I believe Chastain, those three athletes and three current should all never call themselves old they represent America in a truly positive way no one can ever forget.

Mia and Julie were like the greatest power couple that never was actually a couple lol. The face and the voice!

Had to come watch this after listening to the 99ers zoom chat on Foudy’s podcast ❤❤ Truly such a special team. Changed my life.

I am almost 15 and my mom was pregnant with me durning the 99 World Cup my mom watched the World Cup so when it came time to name me they went through the whole women's roster pairing up different names the two they were desiding on where Mia Michelle or Brianna Nicole and they went with Mia Michelle. But if I was a boy I would be named Anthony James the coach (I think)

The fact that going into my senior year in high school, I remember showing up to a house where my gf and her soccer players (from my high school) friends were at, and they were excited as they had just witnessed something great. I was so non chalant about the situation. Little did I know that I would be so influenced by these group of athletes as a college and pro football (american) player, as a high school teacher and as a high school coach. The chemistry and role playing by each member, shows what talent alone is not enough. I now I am a fan of the program, I stop my day for a world cup match, or an olympic match; and thats because regardless of who the players are, the standard of excellence has endured 24 years later. What a group of remarkable human beings. Thank you for all the thrills. GO USA!

17:25 "is a bad day to be German" "NEIN" god they are hilarious

Still the most memorable moment in football for me. Above Herny's goal at Leeds (am an Arsenal fan) Above anything Zidane, Ronaldo, or Messi can ever do. Maradona is the only person who has provoked such a reaction from an entire country. RESPECT

And now we have The 15ers to go with The 99ers and The 91ers...

21:25 "Hey the president is coming down so we got to keep our clothes on." Wow, what foresight!

holy crap is alex morgan stunning in this

I want a Soccer 15ers because that would be lit Hope Carli and Pinoe

Mia Hamm is a LIVING LEGEND!

I had such a crush on Mia Hamm and Julie Foudy...and I still do 😁.

Who's watching this after Paris finals?

*And the legend continues.....*

Michelle Akers was to me the most toughest woman ever

Coming here for some comfort after that devastating loss in the 2023 World Cup. The 1999 World Cup team played with so much heart and humility…and they could make their penalty kicks. This was missing from the 2023 US team with the exception of Alyssa Naeher and a few others.

"1999 was the last time the U.S. won the world cup" fast forward to now. 2 _consecutive_ world cup wins, and i truly believe we can 3 peat.

This tourney was the biggest moment in women’s team sports history. Selling out NFL stadiums and the Rose Bowl was truly remarkable.

Great documentary, as a Englishman I am jealous of the U.S.A. "Football" set up as females have had equal support/funding since the 1960s, that's why you are world class today!. We "England" have lot of catching up to do, as our "Male" Football Association took control of women's football in 1993, (they banned women's football from 1921-1971=50 years of sexism) were getting there! to conclude... The World Name for The World Game is FOOTBALL!.

from 1999- today US soccer setting records

I was 4 years old and I picked up my first soccer ball after that game and played my first season. And I have yet to be on a team with the composure and love for one another and the game.

OMG...AMAZING STORY =)

That group is so hilarious!

"What about all the little girls that want to be just like you?" Seriously? If they hadn't been such a tight knit group of teammates, I wonder if she would have been able to handle it as well. The comradery they had together gave her that support system she needed. That they all needed to support each other.

USA 1999 Women team the Greatest 🇺🇸🇺🇸🏆🏆🏆🏅🏅🏅❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️from 🇦🇺🇦🇺

Watching this comforts me

What song is going while the final PK is taken by Chastain?

Loved it!

BEST team in women's soccer history.

Beautiful story.

Man, watching this in 2022 as a 14 year old girl just gives me chills

That was pretty good!

I wish USMNT could produce moments like these too.

Simply beautiful..i really love woman soccer..

Really weird watching this as in Australia this revolution in sport with women's Soccer, Rugby and Aussie rules foottball all attracting huge interest right now, some 20 years after these trailblazers in the USA...

What sports should be....current pro athletes are for most part an embarrassment. Love you girls.....I really do

so inspirational i love it

i just considered myself odd. Unlike most I was NOT a Mia Hamm fan, had a huge crush on Carla Overbeck and Tisha Venturini with that team.

21:20 - my niece in Mia Hamm's jersey after a glass of lemonade

As much as I love the current crop, they don't hold a candle to the '91ers. Lots of charisma, always having fun and not taking themselves too seriously. But at least it might be progress to say that womens soccer now has its own domestic abuser. (Solo)

So inspiring

The future is now being led by Abby wambach, Alex Morgan and christene rampone love to hear this big love

Nowadays men wearing dresses can play in women's sports. United States, an Nation in decline. ☹️

You can tell that their knees are KILLING them sitting on the ground like that. I know mine would be

That was a team for the ages!

39:19 Julie Foudy hype speech

2015 team..... please win

Amazing 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

19'ers

MIA HAMM!!!!!!!!!!! i love u

37:48 Funniest line. Some of the American soccer commentary is laughable . . . . 'touch-down'

ali at the end

What's up. Take A Bow! hat flap What do you think, guys?

Scurry pulled a Jersey Dudek

Michelle Akers was the toughest lady ever on that team.

What's the name of the song from 5:10 to 5:58 please?

michelle akers fucking rules

Briana Scurry is lucky as heck she didn't have the referee from the 2011 U.S.-Brazil match. She was about four feet off her line, which should have given China a retake of the PK.

Julie a savage for filming that German player crying 20:58

Thank you Usa!
