It's time to give the women's
sport its due. Although they may not have been at it as long as the men, they're
here to stay, and there's no denying women's soccer is growing leaps and bounds
in talent and audience.
Below is the official FIFA All-Star team from 1999 World
Cup, won by the USA over China in penalty kicks. Women's soccer is currently
dominated by American and Chinese players, but the sport continues to draw more
young women into its fold, and with new players and greater participation among
the world's countries, new faces representing many nations will join this
list.
