Summary

Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1999! It’s officially 25 years since the U.S. women’s national team won the 1999 World Cup in front of a sold-out Rose Bowl and TV audience of 40 million people. That team, affectionately known as The 99ers, has a legacy that’s endured and two of its stars, Kristine Lilly and Tisha Venturini, join Laughter Permitted to talk all about how the team balanced competitiveness with having fun. Kristine, Tisha and Julie share stories of intense practices (and how teammates still hung out afterwards), how laughing became a way to alleviate the pressure of the World Cup (insert Julie here) and how the bench (led by Tisha) was key in creating team chemistry. Listen in to learn even more about the secret sauce of The 99ers. Check out: Episode 100: The 99ers Episode 132: Brandi Chastain and Tiffany Sahaydak
