France vs USWNT an important step for women's football - Hamm

The World Cup quarterfinal in Paris is the most eagerly-awaited game of the tournament so far

When Mia Hamm walked into the FIFA World Football Museum presented by Hyundai for the first time, she immediately saw the exhibition’s centerpiece: a painting by acclaimed artist Rachel Gadsden that uses Hamm as the inspiration.

“It was an emotional experience for me,” Hamm said of seeing Gadsden’s work. The legendary American striker also had the chance to meet Gadsden in person at the museum in Paris.

“Having the conversation with Rachel and talking about when she was painting it, she wanted to get into my soul,” Hamm said.
