Mia Hamm's clean sheet: Why a USWNT scoring legend played in goal during a World Cup

Posted Jul 19, 2023
Mia Hamm calls it "the longest 11 minutes of my life." Was she referring to the penalty shootout in the 1999 Women's World Cup final that saw the U.S. prevail over China? Nope. How about closing out the 2004 Olympic gold-medal match against Brazil? Uh-uh. It was the 11 minutes she played as a goalkeeper against Denmark at the 1995 World Cup. (ESPN.com)
