1) Women's World Cup - Third Place Game and Final, Sat. 10 July 1999, Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Calif.

Brazil's shootout victory over a dominating Norway team set the stage for the final conflict of the 1999 World Cup: China and US. More than 91,000 fans watched as 90 minutes of regulation and 30 munutes of overtime resulted in a 0-0 tie. This was more a result of spectacular goalkeeping and defense than any lack of offense. Briana Scurry proved the better goalkeeper in the end, blocking a Chinese penalty in the shootout.

3) USA - Mexico -- International Friendly, 28 MAR 1999, Los Angeles, Calif.

USA encountered unexpectedly fierce resistance from a spirited Mexico side. Augmented with a number of US players, the Mexican team, which had fallen 10-0 to a university team just days before, held off USA for the better part of the first half. Kris Lilly pounded two goals within minutes of each other in the second half as the better-conditioned American team finally wore down the Mexicans.
