SAN FRANCISCO : The founders behind the new National Women's Soccer League expansion team in California's San Francisco Bay Area believe this year's Women's World Cup will only add to their momentum as they kick off their inaugural season next year.
"Hopefully we're going to see more of a presence and excitement around the Women's World Cup in our community, and that's what it's all about," Osborne said on Saturday at the team's launch event in San Francisco. Chastain's role at the World Cup is among the most iconic for the U.S. She scored the deciding penalty in 1999, sealing the win against China at the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena.
"I think in terms of the excitement and the emotion of these people, reminding them about them bringing their true authentic selves to the stadium every day, not just on a big stage," Chastain said.
