There will be fights for two championship belts among the many current and previous champions on the 300th pay-per-view show of the UFC, which is being celebrated. Champion after champion appears at UFC 300. The 300th pay-per-view card of the Ultimate Fighting Championship features combatants that serve as a reminder to fans of the brutal and frequently bizarre reality of mixed martial arts. Twelve fighters in the 13 bouts on the UFC 300 card have held a UFC title at some point in their careers. This is a great way to promote the pay-per-view, which can be purchased in the US for $79.99 with an ESPN+ subscription, and it also serves as a timely reminder of how difficult it is to win a title and capitalize on the fame that comes with it. The current light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, rose to prominence in a bigger class by positioning himself as a counterbalance to Israel Adesanya, one of the greatest names in the sport. After suffering two defeats in 2021, Zhang Weili had to bo
In 1999, American Brandi Chastain scored the game-winning penalty kick against China to win the World Cup for the United States, ripping off her shirt and dropping to her knees in her sports bra in celebration.
While the United States converted all five penalty kicks in the 1999 Final shootout, many people forget that no goals were scored in the 120 minutes of play preceding the shootout.
When do extra time and penalty kicks come into play in the World Cup?
Matches in the group stage can end in a tie, which means no extra time is required. Extra time is played when a match is tied after 90 minutes of regulation in the knockout rounds when one team must advance.
Extra time is divided into two 15-minute halves. Regardless of how many goals are scored, the entire 30 minutes are played (equaling 120 minutes total, including the 90 minutes of regulation). If the game is still tied after 30 minutes of extra time, a penalty shootout will be required to determine a winner.
In the penalty shootout, each team chooses five players to shoot from the penalty spot, which is 12 yards from the goal. In a best-of-five format, the team's alternate shooters until a winner is determined. If both teams are tied after their first five shooters attempt penalties, new players are chosen to continue shooting in a sudden-death format.
How many Women's World Cup Finals have required overtime?
Three Women's World Cup Finals have gone to extra time, with two games deciding on penalties. The United States won the World Cup in 1999, defeating China on penalty kicks at the Rose Bowl in California. Four years later, Germany defeated Sweden in the final in extra time, with Nia Kunzer scoring the game-winning goal in the eighth minute. However, because 2003 Final followed the golden goal rule, Germany was declared the winner as soon as Kunzer scored. That was the final World Cup in which the golden goal was used, with a full 30 minutes of extra time now being played regardless of the number of goals scored.
The last Women's World Cup Final to go to extra time was in 2011 when Japan defeated the United States in a penalty shootout. After 90 minutes of regulation, the score was 1-1, so 30 minutes of overtime was played. Abby Wambach scored to put the USWNT up 2-1, but Japan captain Homare Sawa equalized in the 117th minute to force a penalty shootout. The US failed to convert on their first three penalty kicks, falling 3-1 in the shootout.
