The U.S. Women's Soccer Team: An American Success Story

The U.S. Women's Soccer Team: An American Success Story

In this new editionâ€”updated through the teamâ€™s spectacular win at the 2012 London Olympicsâ€”Clemente A. Lisi examines how the sport of womenâ€™s soccer has gained popularity over the past few decades. While other books have been written about the team during a specific year, such as those focused solely on the 1999 World Cup win on U.S. soil, Lisi details the program's infancy and how it steadily became a model for women's teams around the globe.

Beginning with the start of the U.S. program in 1985, Lisi recounts the development of the womenâ€™s team, highlighted by their two first place finishes in the Womenâ€™s World Cups (1991 and 1999) and four Olympic womenâ€™s gold medals (1996, 2004, 2008, and 2012). In addition to chronicling the history of the team as a whole, this book offers mini profiles and photographs of some of the best players over the years, including Julie Foudy, Amy Rodriguez, Hope Solo, and Mia Hamm.
