The last time the U.S. played China in the Women's World Cup, the Americans scored a dramatic shootout victory to capture the championship. That was back in 1999 and it was the last time the U.S. won the World Cup.

The two teams meet again in the 2015 World Cup quarterfinals tomorrow. The tournament's semifinals are next Tuesday and Wednesday and the championship match is Sunday July 5 in Vancouver. Here & Now sports analyst Mike Pesca joins host Meghna Chakrabarti to preview the match.
