In 1991, when the U.S. won the first Women's World Cup, after they returned home, nobody even knew what had happened. Fast forward to 2015. What a difference 24 years makes.
***** When they came back home in 1991, apparently three journalists were there to welcome them and I think they said some families and that was it. Their first world cup win was filed under "miscellaneous sports", that's how obscure soccer was in the US back then. Since then, it has grown to be a major sport.
Melissa Skillens Well of course their families knew. But most people in the country probably didn't even know we had a women's national team back then.
This video brought me tears and I'm not even American But seriously I've a fan of the USWNT since the 2011 world cup and I've never seen players as loyal and dedicated like this group of women so they have every right in the world to be called the best team in the world and I'm pretty sure this is just the beginning of their journey Go USA!!!
Oh my god I'm on the verge of tears. I love this team so much. I'm so proud of them and all that they stand for. I cannot wait to see them kickoff their victory tour in Pittsburgh.
I use to think that soccer was fun and I could never make it, but after watching this I started really working harder and harder and I made it to varsity just the other day and my coach said "out of all these players I think that you will be the one who goes further!" and that made me the happiest person in the world that someone especially your coach believing in you is amazing! I hope to play for the WNT when I'm like 20 years old.
Congratulations! I have the same dream to play for the USWNT and if not at least in the NWSL but after I've watched these I've been inspired to work harder. I'm only a freshman in high school but after the summer league we had their current goalkeepers (yes I am a goalie) said that I may start some varsity games. So I can only hope
What an amazing series of vids they made! Behind The Crest should be an inspiration for all nations to do so and to promote women soccer. Grtz from Amsterdam and congratz for USWNT & the American fans!
I just loved this! I have been a fan of this team since 1996 when they won their first gold medal in Atlanta. I went to a game during the 1999 World Cup. It is so satisfying to see this team at the top of their sport again. From the 91ers to the 15ers this team has a history of excellence. I believed.
This video almost made me cry. They deserved it. I'm proud to be a fan of them! This win is only the beginning for their journey. This team is so much heart and so much potential. I cannot wait to see what will come next. #USAAllTheWay
And now I'm crying...so incredibly proud of these ladies. It's amazing to see how they have inspired the entire nation and will continue to do so for a long, long time. We are world champions baby!!!
I can watch this video all day long and still have teary eyes. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Congrats to the USWNT and US Soccer. Now, let's win the Gold Cup so we can have a cup brace this year.
cried through this whole thing. honestly this team worked so hard for this and they totally deserve it. been waiting 16 years and it's amazing how a group of determined womans won the Fifa World Cup its soo remarkable i wanna say thank you for making this sport better than it actually is. You've all changed the face of woman and womans soccer thank you so much for being an inspiration to me and the world I love you all💓
In 2011, when Japan came back twice, I knew that they were destined to win the World Cup. In 2015, when USA pummelled Columbia and Germany, I knew they were destined to win it and nothing was going to stop them. I'm so proud to say that this is my team I stand behind. Always and forever.
osnapitzme12 destiny had nothing to do with it in 2011 that was bad coaching from sundahage and poor defense USA gave that game to Japan.i knew our Ladies would not allow that to happen again so proud of them all for bringing the cup HOME.
After all the Crap this country has taken and gone through, it's nice to know that there is something this country believes in whole heartedly. Funny how a sport can really unite a nation together in a positive way.
woow!! what a inspiring video!! I am a big fan of everyone on this team I hope woman soccer grows bigger and bigger all around the world thank you for never stop no matter what the sacrifice, the hard work or maybe in some cases the critics we woman have for playing soccer (in make case I drop it because this). Congrats for wining and fighting every single day
Increible Recepcion en la Ciudad de Nueva York, e Impacto en las Nuevas Generaciones, no solo para Los Estados Unidos sino a todo el mundo en general, tanto para Hombres y Mujeres, 3 veces Campeon del Mundo, la verdad que son dignas de admiracion. Ya han hecho HISTORIA para todo el mundo que ama el Futbol.
Sarah Miracle messi is the given, he's the man of the hour and everyone knows but it's a business move to have alex on the front. You don't get the point. If it was about being the best for the usa cover, carli lloyd should be on the cover.
I think it's safe to say the the U.S Women Soccer team 2015 World Cup Champs is team #Iphone📱haha Congrats Ladies. Way to represent & Inspire a Nation. #1N1T excited for World Cup 2019 in France 🇺🇸 Lets get that 4th star 😝.
But i also want to say how freaking proud i am of this team and how much they have done for not only women's soccer, but soccer in general. I love them so much and I'm so glad they finally get their happy ending (especially abby)
É uma pena que o futebol brasileiro não seja tratado da mesma forma que é nos USA. Em pouco tempo, eles criaram duas ligas profissionais, MLS(Major League Soccer), para o futebol masculino e a NWSL (National Women's Soccer League), para o futebol feminino, que certamente já é muito maior que a liga brasileira(tanto em marketing e em jogadores). Sem falar do fortalecimento da Seleção Nacional, que em pouco tempo, ganhou 3 ouros olímpicos e 3 Mundiais da Fifa. No Brasil falta organização e os USA estão nos mostrando o caminho! O futebol Pena-Campeão Mundial merece mais.
this video is great! should've started with the crest and 2 stars with "i believe that we will win" and ended with the crest and three stars with "i believe that we just won"... then it would've been an awesome vid. love this team like no other!
+Crafter XD we call it America becasue it is America when do Canadians ever call there country America? in fact who has ever refered to Canada as America or even North America?
It's not there job to promote diversity. It's there job to put together the best group of players that they can. If this is who the best players in the country are that's who goes and plays. If the best players are diverse, so be it. If they aren't, so be it. It shouldn't be the main concern over talent when building a team

There was a lot more fans and celebration in 99 but that was also because the WC was on American Soil.
2:28
"Tobs, you need make up?"
"Me?"
*thought going through Tobin's head: what's makeup?!*
This video brought me tears and I'm not even American
But seriously I've a fan of the USWNT since the 2011 world cup and I've never seen players as loyal and dedicated like this group of women so they have every right in the world to be called the best team in the world and I'm pretty sure this is just the beginning of their journey
Go USA!!!
It's funny that the coach and Hope Solo gave these inspiring speeches and Abby Wambach comes up and yells "We won the World Cup baby!!!"
yas XD and during the parade when tobin screams something i didnt quite hear it but yea
Skittlez MSP she said "I love new York"
"Tobin Heath, makeup"
"Me?"
HAHAHA idk just the way she said it, I love her so much.
the way means "what's make up ?" lol
I love you Tobin Heath!
Soccer is becoming more and more popular in the U.S. by the month. So proud of this team! ;)
Oh my god I'm on the verge of tears. I love this team so much. I'm so proud of them and all that they stand for. I cannot wait to see them kickoff their victory tour in Pittsburgh.
When does their victory tour start?
Jimena Dominguez Aug 16 against Costa Rica.

I just loved this! I have been a fan of this team since 1996 when they won their first gold medal in Atlanta. I went to a game during the 1999 World Cup. It is so satisfying to see this team at the top of their sport again. From the 91ers to the 15ers this team has a history of excellence. I believed.

That trophy was well deserved. Congrats USWNT!! You Girls are the best and a great inspiration to young women like my self.
It's always funny how small Kling is but she always ends up in the back of team pictures/selfies
Aw, this made me tear up. Thanks US Soccer for giving us a glimpse into the USWNT.
Haha Christen Press is always in the background @4:32
Congrats USWNT!! Four years was worth the wait. Looking forward to the fourth star!

V love you all guys
One of the Best Episode on Behind The Crest is #USWNT in Canada.
The end made me cry so hard.
Well worth the wait!
After all the Crap this country has taken and gone through, it's nice to know that there is something this country believes in whole heartedly. Funny how a sport can really unite a nation together in a positive way.
Great video. I'm sad that it's all over now.
Sarah E The Olympics are soon!
Erica Rosenbaum
True, but that still seems to long. lol
Imagine how crazy this country will go if our men ever win a World Cup
Steven Marinkovich It takes time. I believe US is on the right track to reach that goal for the USMNT.
After that loss to Jamaica in the Gold Cup, they need to put in more young players and increase their Soccer IQ as well.
and without tim howard we're not going to win anymore
I dont see that happening soon tbh
Well now I'm all pumped again! USAAAAAA!!!!
Huge crowds! :D
woow!! what a inspiring video!! I am a big fan of everyone on this team I hope woman soccer grows bigger and bigger all around the world thank you for never stop no matter what the sacrifice, the hard work or maybe in some cases the critics we woman have for playing soccer (in make case I drop it because this).

jajaja tampoco para tanto. Lo que si merecido lo que ganaron.
Ik alex is on the cover of fifa and everything but I think christen is the prettiest tbh. Alex maybe has a better smile but gawd cp is gorgeous
Sarah Miracle messi is the given, he's the man of the hour and everyone knows but it's a business move to have alex on the front. You don't get the point. If it was about being the best for the usa cover, carli lloyd should be on the cover.
I think it's safe to say the the U.S Women Soccer team 2015 World Cup Champs is team #Iphone📱haha Congrats Ladies. Way to represent & Inspire a Nation. #1N1T excited for World Cup 2019 in France 🇺🇸 Lets get that 4th star 😝.
I definitely believe that we will win!!!!

Hahahha remember when we only had two stars on the crest
Alex Morgan I LOVE YOU

USA!
USWNT is now ranked #1 in the world. #1 United States has 2189 points and #2 Germany has 2115 points. GO USA! 🇺🇸
I love this team so much only if they could be in Syracuse New York
Did anyone notice that guy in 5:11 pushing in Christen Press trying to get into the photo. Haha
But i also want to say how freaking proud i am of this team and how much they have done for not only women's soccer, but soccer in general. I love them so much and I'm so glad they finally get their happy ending (especially abby)
Well done
Congrats again!! Go USA!! Also, the wnt seem to have more fun and laughs than the mnt in these behind the crest videos.
What's the name of the song that starts at 7:35?
Go USA!
Jersey girls... Lloyd, Heath, O'reilly, Rampone,
Tobin doesn't need make up because she is a natural beauty ! Her expression means "you're asking me that stupid question ?" lol
what is the song at 8:28 sounds so epic
Anyone know the name of the classical/instrumental song in the last part? Starting at about 7:47
love abby i have that dream too i won't give up
When abby got the microphone..
RIP headphone users.

God I love Abby wambach her and Megan rapinoe are my spirit animals for sure
Kelly o hara has the bad case of the smartphone bug shes always on it in every video throw it in the sea be in the moment you won it all!
I Love Alex Morgan
i wanna be world champion :'( !! oh wait im from mexico!
the greatest fckng team of all time! go usa!!!
this video is great! should've started with the crest and 2 stars with "i believe that we will win" and ended with the crest and three stars with "i believe that we just won"... then it would've been an awesome vid. love this team like no other!
Rodriguez said were headed back to America Canada is America I think she meant the U.S.
United States of America We call it America and I don't know why
+Crafter XD we call it America becasue it is America when do Canadians ever call there country America? in fact who has ever refered to Canada as America or even North America?
Awesome video, but it could've done without that mug Rob Stone. Go Go U.S.A!!!
Cryyying
ahhh they cut out the part were the Prez was flirting with Carli that was awesome.
asher45s wtf you get that from? You’re ignorant
Morgan overrated Lloyd better
I love the women soccer team but there's literally no diversity on the team to represent American ! ;(
All I an think of Leroux, Press and Boxx
xavier church also Amy Rodriguez is half cuban Carli Lloyd is Portuguese K.O. and HAO are part Irish and so on seems pretty diverse to me.
Kehinde Oguntoyinbo Needs more gender diversity imo ;(
It's not there job to promote diversity. It's there job to put together the best group of players that they can. If this is who the best players in the country are that's who goes and plays. If the best players are diverse, so be it. If they aren't, so be it. It shouldn't be the main concern over talent when building a team
I'm really happy they won it, but I'd trade this for the men to win the Gold Cup again.
nope
