Quick Take:
Sissi and China's Sun Wen were the co-scoring leaders of the 1999 Women's World
Cup with seven goals each. Sissi played in all three Women's World Cups and both
Olympic women's soccer tournaments. Sissi is known for her shaved head and ability to
score on free kicks, which she did twice in the '99 World Cup. She opened the '99 World
Cup with a hat trick against Mexico, scored a pair of goals against Italy and her golden
goal in the 104th minute broke a 3-3 tie against Nigeria in the quarterfinals to send her
team to the semifinals against Team USA.
She shaved her head prior to the 1999 Women's World Cup to fulfill a promise she made
to God. That promise will be fulfilled in June, when she will allow her hair to grow out
again.
