4. The Milan miracle, Great story which inspired the movie Hoosiers. Which was highly inaccurate. Milan had been a in the state semifinals the year before.
3. US Women's soccer team wins World Cup. This was suppose to be the beginning of the rise of both men & women's soccer. While there was some increase in interest the women's pro league failed. Truth is people remember this because of Brandi Chastain.
2. Soviet Union beats US in 72 basketball gold medal game. The refs screwed up & none of them would sign the official scoring sheet. A official broken the rules & added time on the clock.
1. Miracle on Ice US beats Soviets in 1980 ice hockey. It was a fluke. US would remain bad until the pros started playing on the team. Older Americans act like this was some great win in the Cold War. IT WAS HOCKEY! The fact that this is consider as a major event shows how bad the 70s were for the US.
