U.S. Soccer salutes the 25th anniversary of the fabled 99ers' epic World Cup victory today before an Olympic sendoff game. It all came down to PKs. Here's how the U.S. keeper remembers it.
That was the game against Denmark, I believe. The team got caught in a massive traffic jam on the way to the game and they couldn't figure out why. Turns out the traffic was for them, as 76,000 people were on their way to the game.:)
Yes. It was the first of two games that day. My daughter and her friend found two empty seats on the 50 yard line and sat themselves right down. It was the friend and family section for the second game. They met Tony DiCicco’s son. It certainly was a day to remember.
I remember watching that game. It was amazing. And mesmerizing. And the picture of Brandi Chastain on the cover of SI was and is a classic picture of power and strength and victory. And Briana was incredible during that run, too. The right person at the right time in goal.
I was at Giant Stadium for the US opener with my own little 14 year old in her Hamm jersey! It was just incredible!

Brandi's cover was an all-timer, no doubt. Thanks for reading, and riding.
5 thumbs up!
