Throwback Thursday: USWNT win 1999 Women’s World Cup

July 10, 1999. That was the day that women’s soccer took the world’s stage. It was the 1999 Women’s World Cup final, and the scene was the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. President Bill Clinton was among the 90,185 that packed the stadium to see if they could witness the United States Women’s National Team make history in person. It was the third edition of the Women’s World Cup, but the first time a host nation had made the final. And, it was one where the USWNT wanted to put on a show.
