Do any of the '99 women in the stands feel like coaching because boy do I have an idea for you

i continue to have gripes with y2k fashion but maybe my favorite aspect was the renaissance of liquid metal/metal mesh, calling back to the 60s, 70s & especially the decade of its invention, the 30s

Yeah shoutout to Lynn! Wish others were doing the same.

I also love that HAO is doing her part to get NC to turn blue!

Lynn is so incredible in so many ways. I’ll never forget her bravery when it came to speaking out about KA in a way no other players were right before roster decisions were being made. She’s such an example of what it means to be a responsible person and player.

Hell yeah HAO!!! JMac has been out there too :) idk if she’s in NC rn or Michigan, but both are so important!!! (And obviously all the people mentioned in my last post, and Wambach, Kriegs, Michelle Akers, & more I’m probably forgetting)

Ne güzel şarkılardan biridir 'inanma', ne güzel sözler yazmış Ülkü Aker ve ne güzel bir melodi ile buluşturmuş Cenk Taşkan. Arabesk şarkıların popüler olmaya başladığı bir dönemde, ben de “Nilüfer79” albümünde söylemiştim bu şarkıyı. Sevgili Çağan Irmak 'Sevda Mecburi İstikamet' filminde kullanmak için aradığında, yıllar sonra yeniden buluştu sizinle.

A runner having asthma reminds me of how Michelle Akers (US womens soccer star in the 90s including Olympic gold in 96) had chronic fatigue syndrome - some people with that have trouble with energy level for sedentary jobs and there she was running up and down the field for 90 minutes

Powerful message. Believe in yourself.

A Rough Start To Success Part 2

While U.S. soccer has made some progress over the last 30 years, the treatment and pay the women received at the very beginning were laughable, “U.S. Soccer didn’t give them any money other than a meager $10 a day while traveling. Jennings took a series of nine-to-five jobs that she had to quit whenever she left for a new trip. And Higgins, who was making just $7,000 a year as a collegiate assistant coach, would end up retiring from the sport at age 23 after the 1991 World Cup final to make ends meet.” Obviously these are pathetic offerings to what are supposed to be professional athletes representing the U.S. Not only were these athletes attempting something that hadn’t been socially acceptable in history, but they were doing so with no official uniforms, repurposing the men's uniforms on their own personal time and labor. A majority of the players had no other choice but to work odd jobs in between international breaks to be able to support their living when the tournaments were over. Because of their pure love for the game, and the idea of future generations of women being able to play soccer with equal conditions to their male counterparts, female athletes continued to play despite the emotional and physical labor they were willing to take on in order to create a winning team forced to be taken seriously. In 1991 FIFA would host its first official trial run of a women's world championship, composed of 12 teams. The U.S. was able to clinch the title, beating Norway 2-1 in the final. Big names such as Michelle Akers, Carin Jennings, and April Heinrichs led the team in the tournament and collected personal achievements as well. The tournament was held in China and with FIFA still reluctant to fund a women's tournament,  the company M&Ms sponsored the event. The final game brought in roughly 63,000 attendees, and roughly 510,000 total throughout the tournament. A month after the tournament, a New Republic columnist wrote, “Sports honchos still haven't caught on to the interest in women's soccer. We've got twenty-four-hour-a-day sports TV networks in this country, yet no one broadcasts the women's World Cup championship in November. The games were shown live in some countries, by tape delay in others. This was the first world championship for women's soccer, and the United States won. The high scoring American team, judging from skimpy print reports, was flashy and aggressive, it was the product of all the nurturing of women's soccer in the 1970s and 1980s. But ESPN blacked out the women's final, airing molasses-paced hunting and fishing shows instead. If that makes you mad, there's worse. The 1992 Olympics don't consider women's soccer a viable sport. It's not included as an event. Men's soccer is.”  Recognition did not show up immediately after the 1991 world title, “In her book, the “National Team,” Caitlin Murray writes that the squad received a $500 bonus for winning the World Cup. “The players were thrilled because there wasn’t any money in women’s soccer, and they knew it,” writes Murray.” In the lens of growth and exposure to the world, the 1991 women's world cup did exactly what it needed to do to further the efforts for women’s tournaments. Maybe not in time for the 1992 Olympics, however women’s soccer was finally introduced at the historical games in 1996. Players such as Julie Foudy, Mia Hamm, and Kristine Lilly set the standards for women's soccer against all of the outside noise and accepting nearly nothing in monetary value to play just to prove to the world and themselves that it could be done.
