Episode 7: OOSA Forever
Presented by adidas Produced by Storied Sports Executive Producer: Michelle Akers The final episode brings the story full circle by returning to the cheer — Oosa! — that began as a mispronunciation from the Italian crowd in 1985 and evolved into a sacred team tradition passed down for four decades. Erin and Jane reveal that nearly every modern USWNT player knows the chant, but almost none knew its origin. From there, Episode 7 charts the path from the raw beginnings of 1985 to the seismic breakthrough of the 1991 Women’s World Cup. The appointment of Anson...

That moment of patronizing curiosity becomes the metaphor for what “The 85ers” face when they return to the U.S. — no media coverage, no fanfare, barely anyone who even knew they’d been gone.

With no curfews, no social media, and no federation breathing down their necks, “The 85ers” discover nightclubs aka “discothèques”, siestas, beach culture, and a sense of freedom none of them had imagined. But the heart of the episode is game two vs. Denmark — and the birth of the now-iconic “Oosa!” chant, inspired by Italian fans in...

But the wonder of Italy contrasts sharply with a sobering question: Why was the U.S. so late to women’s international soccer in the first place?

Extra Time: 91er Linda Hamilton
When the US Women's National Team began winning on the international stage, much credit was given to Anson Dorrance's innovative tactical approach. He deployed a 3-4-3 to counter 4-4-2 setups most commonly utilized by other international programs. Leveraging his team's athleticism, Dorrance relied on pressing to create transitional attacking opportunities. With talents like April Heinrichs, Michelle Akers and Carin Jennings-Gabarra ready to take advantage of those chances, the USWNT had enough fire power to win the inaugural FIFA Women's World Cup in 1991.With all the attention given to the team's attacking prowess, it was easy...
