2003 FIFA Women's World Cup

     The 2003 Women’s World Cup, presented by MasterCard, marks the third time in 10 years that the U.S. Soccer Federation has hosted a FIFA World Cup. In 1994, the World Cup was introduced to the American public for the first time, resulting in the highest attended event in FIFA history, and in 1999 the groundbreaking Women’s World Cup was — by every measurable yardstick — the most successful women’s sporting event ever.

2003 Women's World Cup - Third-place game, Sat. 11 Oct 2003, Home Depot Center, Carson Calif.

With third-place honors on the line, the two teams put on an impressive game. University of Portland star Christine Sinclair scored for the Canadians in the 38th minute to tie the game 1-1, but the USA was able to secure the victory with goals from Shanon Boxx and Tiffeny Milbrett. The Boxx goal turned out to be the 1,000th goal scored by the US Women's National Team since its formation in 1984.

2003 Women's World Cup - Semifinal action, Sun. 05 Oct 2003, PGE Park, Portland Ore.

The USA run at the Cup came to a shocking end at the hands of a younger, superior German team, which scored early and then relied on the solid goalkeeping of Silke Rottenberg. Even the late substitution of local heroine Tiffeny Milbrett failed to produce a tying goal, when the referee elected not to call a penalty when she was taken down in the box late in the game.

In the nightcap match, Sweden secured the all-European final by defeating Canada.

2003 Women's World Cup - First round action, Thurs. 24 Sept 2003, Home Depot Center, Carson Calif.

Russia again needs a full half to warm up, but eventually dismiss the spirited Ghanians 3-0. In the evening session, Australia stuns heavily favored China with an early goal, and barely holds off the unstopping China attack for the tie -- sometimes using their faces to block shots on goal. The game ends 1-1.
