The United States roster for the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup was comprised of the best talent the country had to offer, including the likes of Mia Hamm, Michelle Akers, Brandi Chastain and Carla Overbeck. In Group play, the U.S. finished an undefeated 3-0, outscoring opponents 13-1. In the knockout stage, the United States first defeated Germany, 3-2, before blanking Brazil, 2-0, to reach the final, with Akers scoring a late insurance goal to seal the victory. In the championship game, the United States and China played scoreless through regulation and extra time, before Chastain won the contest on a shootout goal.
