- Come on, says who?

It's Mia, now!

It's Mia Hamm! Shot! It's in!

It's in the net!

Hamm puts the Freedom back in front.

Sissi chips it forward.

Brandi...

Scores! Scores!

Terrific touch by Brandi Chastain.

- Where's Sara?

- She was gone when I got up.

- I thought she went with you.

- No.

Well, she's not here.

She has to be.

Sara?

Sara? Sara?

She took my bike.

I told her I'd take her.

I hope it goes well.

It will.

Listen,

I just wanted to say,

I know I've been a little extreme

when it comes to the soccer.

- A little.

- Please.

Sorry.

I'm working on some things here.

I just wanted you to know that.

Okay.

You know, it's a big day for us...

I mean, Sara.

I'm sure she'd like it

if we were both there to watch her.

I don't know if I can do that, Gil.

What'll I wear?

God, I don't know

What'll I do if no one asks me to go?

What if I try?

What if I fall?

What if I win but then I still lose it all?

I'm tryin' to find a place

Where I will know

But what'll I do if I get it all wrong?

Movin' so fast

What do you know

What if it's too hard if I need to let go?

Haven't I done the best I could?

I'm tryin' to find a place

Where she belongs

But what'll I do if I get it all wrong?

Oh, yeah

I'm tryin' to find a place

Where I belong

Oh

But what'll I do if I get it all wrong?

- Hey, kiddo!

- Hey, you scared me.

Well, you scared me,

the way you disappeared.

- Regina and I are tied for goals, Dad.

- I know.

Any last words of advice?

Their goalkeeper's tall.

Keep your shots low.

Not about that.

There's 14 other girls depending on you.

And so am I.

- Nice move, sophomore.

- Thanks.

- They're here.

- I know.

Are you nervous?

Yeah.

Listen, let's not even worry

about those guys.

- Today, it's all about State Cup.

- Cool. I'm there.

All right.

Hey!

Tutti! You hate soccer.

I want to root you on

in your moment of glory.

Thanks. Hey, about the dance...

It's no biggie. I heard what happened.

- So we're still friends?

- Are you kidding?

Look up "friends" in the dictionary,

our picture's there.

- Just go kick some boo-tay!

- Will do.

Playing left mid,

Jessica Meade!

Playing left forward, Sara Davis!

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, Sara rules!

Oh, yeah, Sara rules! Yeah!

Number one! Number one!

The U-19 State Cup Championship

has been contested by 108 teams

throughout California.

Hey!

Sara, get in here.

This is what we've been working for

all year, okay?

Molly, win the air ball.

Jess, be strong out there.

Regina, use your speed

and get behind their defense.

Sara, dance your dance out there, okay?

Let's make this happen. Strikers on three.

- One, two, three.

- Strikers!

Strikers!

Go, Regina! Go!

Go! Go!

All right, blue! Come on!

Is this seat taken?

Yes, by you.

- This is a surprise.

- Pleasant one, I hope.

Absolutely.

- Go! Go! Go, Regina!

- Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

- We're up, one-nil.

- Thanks.

Yeah!

Come on, Sara!

Come on, Sara!

Come on, ref!

Another hit like that,

she'll be going home on a stretcher!

Settle down, Coach! Settle down.

Go, Sara! Go! Go!

- Get up, Sara!

- Come on, Strikers!

- Go, Sara!

Well, that's a first.

Well, who knows,

maybe they'll play for me one day.

- And Sara?

- Sara can hold her own with the best.

I may have pushed a little hard.

Put my team back to one practice a day.

You look nice.

So do you.

Midfield needs to control the ball.

And they're pushing their defense up.

They're trying to trap us with the offsides,

so stay alert out there.

And talk to each other.

When our chances come,

you need to be ready.

Sara, Sara, she's our girl!

If the Strikers don't win, this game hurls!

Hi. Hello, there.

Hi. Who's Sara?

Oh, Sara, she's... She's my cousin.

Yeah, we're pretty tight.

It's pretty crucial to be there

for your family, don't you think?

Yeah.

Thank you.

I want you to leave it all

on the field, okay?

Don't save anything. All right?

Let's do this. Come on!

To the left!

Here, here, here, here.

- That's our girl!

- You bet it was!

Attagirl, Sara!

- Good job!

- Way to go!

Well, let's get this done now!

Everybody up!

All the way up!

Move up!

- Hey, what happened?

- The Strikers scored.

You should've seen this breakaway.

- By who?

- Sara Davis. Awesome move.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Thanks.

You deserved it.

Look, I'm sure we'll play

together again someday.

Yeah, might be a while, though.

I think I'm gonna take a break.

Give my ankles a rest, you know?

Yeah. Okay.

Sounds like a plan, sophomore.

- Good luck.

- You, too.

Papa! Daddy!

You're it!

- I am so proud of you.

- Thank you.

So you made the U.S. Development Team?

Yes, Papa, I did!

Hey!

Thanks.

Now you know how good you are.

Hey, Lori, great game!

Any team I coach, there's a place for you.

- Okay.

- Honey, that was fantastic!

You played brilliantly, Sara.

At the end there, you had the keeper beat,

didn't you?

Dad, soccer is an amazing part of my life,

and I am going to play for them,

just not yet.

There's a few things I don't want to miss.

- And we can still do things together, right?

- Absolutely.

All right, go grab a shower, kiddo.

- I'll give you a ride home.

- Actually, I...

- I have to go take care of something.

- Something?

- Yes.

- Yes. We'll see you at home for dinner.

- Goodbye.

- Bye.

We?

Yeah, I'm having dinner at home.

Come in.

Hi.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

What's going on around here?

Just moving on a little.

So do you think I made the right decision?

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess.

Well, I thought you'd be packing your bags

by now.

No, but I might help Regina.

Wait. What do you mean?

Didn't you see? She made the final goal.

It's her ticket to Florida.

Wait. Regina made the goal?

So that means she's gonna...

So you'll be staying...

I'll be taking my camera out of its box,

doing some dancing,

going to school, and just...

Everyone has got a secret side

A winding path

Up to a door that's open wide

You think you know me

But I'm changin' all the time

'Cause if I wanna be sweet

If I wanna be wild

If I wanna cry like a child

If I pick up the world

in the palm of my hand

I guess that's just who I am

This is me

Can't ignore it

Reaching out

Breaking free constantly

Falling forward

Yeah, I'm just going for it

This is me

Sometimes life is a confusing thing

And when I talk

it seems like no one's listening

Try to be an angel

but I just can't find my wings

'Cause I wanna be sweet

but I wanna be wild

And I wanna find my own style

So I make a mistake and I do it again

But I do the best that I can

This is me

Can't ignore it

Reaching out

Breaking free constantly

Falling forward

Yeah, I'm just going for it

This is me

More than what you see

Finding out who I can be

This is me

This is me

- This is me

- This is me

Can't ignore it

Reaching out

Breaking free constantly

Falling forward

Yeah, I'm just going for it

This is me

Can't ignore it

Reaching out

Breaking free constantly
