[quote=LIONPOWER,260499]The Chinese women's football team reached its peak in 1999 World Cup in the United States where they finished runners-up, only losing to the hosts in the final through penalty shootout. Sun Wen, former world's best female footballer, Liu Ailing, the key playmaker who scored two brilliant long shots home in China's 5-0 crush over Norway in the 1999 World Cup semifinal, and Wen Lirong, the core defender, are still in mind of the Chinese fans. Since these elites' retirement, the "Steel Roses" withered away for lack of talents for many years. Although Marika Domanski-Lyfors, a Swede who led Sweden to the runners-up of 2003 World Cup, pulled the Chinese team out of the nadir to the top eight of the 2007 World Cup in China, the technical and tactical level of the squad is still quite lower than other participating teams.
