Mia Hamm plays goalie: World Cup moment No. 47

Mia Hamm was a goal-scoring machine for the United States women's national team. So why did she play goalie at the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup? It's a fair question with a pretty simple explanation. Up 2-0 against Denmark, USWNT goalkeeper Briana Scurry mistakenly stepped out of the penalty box while taking her goal kick, resulting in a red card. (FOX Sports)
