Kath O’Connor looks at the new world of women’s football.

Who won the World Cup in 1999? The answer is: the USA. They beat China one-nil in the final with a penatly . I’m talking about the Women’s World Cup, of course. Over 90,000 people watched the final in Pasadena, Los Angeles. This is a record for women’s sporting event in the United States. Ten million people also watched the match on television.

Before the tournament started, Mia Hamm , the scorer of over 100 goals in international football, made a TV advert with basketball legend, Michael Jordan. They asked moms and dads from all over America to bring their families to the matches – and they did. During the tournament, young Americans happily wore 9 T-shirts with ‘Hamm ‘ on the back. Ither women football players were often in the newspapers. We learnt a lot about them. For example, we know that the capitain Julie Foudy loves doughnuts!

However, the important thing was the football. In the semi-final match against Brazil, the USA won, but played quite badly and nervously. In the other semi-final, China easily beat the champions Norway by five goals to nil. In the final, the two teams played brilliantly and showed they can play a male sport successfully. After the final, President Clinton said: They played well. It was an exciting game!
