1999 FIFA Women's World Cup
Template:Infobox Women's Football World Cup The FIFA Women's World Cup 1999 was held in the United States and won by the host team. The final between the U.S. and China, held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California and won in a penalty shootout by the U.S., was the most-attended women's sports event in history with an official attendance of 90,185.
The USA victory was, however, debatable because the U.S. goalie Briana Scurry allegedly stepped beyond the goal line numerous times before the Chinese players actually kicked the ball. There, however, was no dispute as to how it ended: after Brandi Chastain scored on the game-winning penalty kick, she took off her uniform top, showing a sports bra underneath.
