American Women’s Soccer: Then & Now

Legendary American soccer player, World Cup winner and Olympic medallist Brandi Chastain is known for her iconic celebration after scoring the winning penalty that led to the USA lifting their second World Cup in 1999. But her contributions to the women’s game go far deeper than that. Brandi, and her former teammate, Maren McCrary, join the show on the back of their visit to Malaysia recently, to talk about what the women’s game was like back then, and how much it has grown, not only in America, but across the world. They also share what it’s like for women’s soccer to not only compete with other sports in America, but also learn from them.
