 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 Dorrance transforms the national team into winners — they would dominate it, all while decked out in adidas. Players from the ’85 team who stayed on carried the sting of Mundalito loss with them, fueling the gut-level grit that powered the U.S. toward its first world championship. But even after winning it all, they still faced second-class treatment, long commercial flights home without media, and minimal federation support. The importance of sponsors like adidas is discussed in the context of the growth of women’s sports since the 85ers played. The episode closes by connecting “The 85ers” to everything that came after — the Olympics, the 1999 team, the modern program — and by restoring their place in history. Their legacy isn’t just that they were the first. It’s that they created the culture, the attitude, the fight, and the sisterhood that the USWNT still carries today. 00:00 — When “Oosa” was a mistake 01:45 — A rally cry is born 02:45 — The “Oosa” that never left 03:30 — Success without recognition 04:30 — Grit, redemption, and the 1986 return 05:55 — 1991: World Champions, still invisible 07:45 — From 1999 glory to lingering issues 08:30 — A history forgotten 10:00 — Fighting to be written back in 15:10 — Barriers, Hall of Fame, and double standards 17:55 — The spark: a jersey, a reunion, a movement 24:20 — Seattle with the 85ers - 40 years later 31:45 — Soccer family, legacy, and the next generation 37:10 — What the 85ers built 39:40 — Oosa forever!
