The US Keeper was 5yards out before the Kick was even taken!! Ok, the Chinese keeper moved marginally before the US penalty but come on, lol. Incredible how that Chinese Penalty wasn't retaken.
I agree scurry left early but so did chinas goalie on us winning pk, not as early or as far forward but still did. So if china gets redo i guess us does, which since they scored why lol. Basically 90% of pk goalies move early. It doesnt matter if its 2yrds or 6in, goalie moves early, no mater how far foward redo it then, even if its a goal. If fans want a redo, pretty much it will be almost every damn pk which is why throw this bs out n finish the game on how its played, on the field as a team, not 1v1.
Back in 1999, we didn't have Internet access to watch this game, and facing a 21-inch HITACHI TV, I didnt notice US's key save was illegal at that moment. I just felt sad,,, because that China women's team was the best ever and suspecting that Team China may have no second chance in the future considering for China's poor development of professional football environment. Today, I can repeatedly watch this video. This "cheated" save can be clearly seen, the (women?) referee's mistake has been magnified ever. FIFTEEN Years have passed, after being through entirely different development track (US develops the best Women's professional football environment and China is still struggling to get recovery from the corrupted football field), China & USA will meet again in World Cup field. Anyway, Look forward to watching a fantastic game without too many disputes.
As a chinese football lover I still fell bad for those steel-roses. They lost the world champion because of the ref's mistake:( Soon we will meet USA again in the quarterfinal. Althought we seem to be the underdog, but we will fight for glory! Go roses! Go China!
What memories!
0:45 the keeper left so early
shouldn't that last chinese penalty kick be a redo since the goalie stepped off a good 2 meters off the line before the ball was kicked?
The goalie made an illegal save. What a shame.
I still remember that goal. Scurry moved forward from the goal line first to block the shot. The penalty should have been retaken!
Isn't it foul for the keeper to step way in front before the kick is taken.
China will get wrecked again by the US in the quarter finals.
When women play there is no rules B-)
0:46 Scurry made an illegal save. She was off of the line.
USA has always been the best to me

Amazing win. I was just 6 at this moment and didn't get into soccer until 5 years ago. The men's team can't get this good. Hopefully one day.
USAThis year? Or Germany?
China will be a tough opponent, it's a 50/50 for both teams
What memories!
good for usa. Go China go!

That goal was not supposed to be counted.
