1. Of your two topic choices, which one do you think you will find the most information about? Please explain. I think I will find more information about the Women’s World Cup team of 1999. I believe this because I will be able to pull information from each player on the team. I will also be able to look back on what each player was feeling before the final during the final and the moments after they won the World Cup through “The Girls of Summer” book. I can also make the argument that this team brought the nation together, and that the women act as wonderful role models. I may also touch on the fact that women athletes should be appreciated as much as men athletes are. There are many topics and ideas I can touch into with this one topic.

2. Of your two topic choices, which one do you think will make the most compelling argument for an audience? Please explain. I think that the topic of the soccer team will be the most compelling because a lot of people can relate to this topic. A lot of people can relate to this topic because as Americans we were all brought together by this win for our nation. Our generation might have been too young to remember this time, but older generations remember this event. Also most will agree that mens’ sports are more glamourized and paid attention too than womens’ sports, so this argument will be relatable for an audience. Another point that the audience can relate to is that young girls need role models that are good examples for them to look up to.

3. Of your two topic choices, which one do you really like the best? Please explain. I really like the topic of the soccer team because I love soccer with all my heart and I am so passionate about the sport that I believe I can put my whole self in this project. This past summer I became obsessed with the World Cup, and I want to learn more about the year that the United States actually won instead of losing at the final. The World Cup really brings a nation together and Americans bond over the soccer team. It also makes me so happy that people become so obsessed with the women of the team and appreciate all the hard work they go through to get to the world stage.
