===Goal celebration=== On July 10, 1999, at the [[1999 FIFA Women's World Cup Final]] at the [[Rose Bowl (stadium)|Rose Bowl]] in [[Pasadena, California]], after scoring the fifth kick in the [[Penalty shootout (football)|penalty shootout]] to give the United States the championship, and the win over [[China women's national football team|China]] in the final game, Chastain celebrated by spontaneously taking off her jersey and falling to her knees in a [[sports bra]], her fists clenched, flexing her arms.<ref name="Distillations">{{cite journal|last1=Roberts |first1=Jacob |title=Women's work |journal=Distillations |date=2017|volume=3|issue=1 |pages=6β11 |url=https://www.sciencehistory.org/distillations/magazine/womens-work|access-date=22 March 2018}}</ref> Removing a jersey in celebration of a goal is so common in men's soccer that it has, at times, been cause for an automatic yellow card caution, according to the Laws of the Game.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2014/03/17/13/47/removing-the-jersey-while-celebrating-a-goal | title=News & Stories {{!}} U.S. Soccer Official Website|date=March 17, 2014}}</ref> The image of her celebration was described in ''[[The New York Times]]'' as "most iconic photograph ever taken of a female athlete",<ref name=Longman2019>{{cite news|newspaper=New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/05/sports/soccer/brandi-chastain-womens-world-cup-image.html|title=The Sports Bra Seen Round the World Has New Meaning 20 Years Later|author=Jere Longman|date=July 5, 2019}}</ref> and it has been considered one of the more famous photographs of a woman celebrating an athletic victory.<ref name=Longman2003>{{cite news|newspaper=New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/05/sports/soccer-the-sports-bra-seen-round-the-world.html|title=The Sports Bra Seen Round the World|author=Jere Longman|date=July 5, 2003}}</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130121113040/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/main/photos/1212/100-greatest-sports-photos-of-all-time-final/14 100 Greatest Sports Photos of All Time #14]</ref> Chastain described the celebration as "momentary insanity, nothing more, nothing less.

Like Chastain, Kelly's goal was a match and tournament winner β in Kelly's case, securing not only the Lionesses' first ever major trophy but the first England senior team major trophy (men's or women's) since the men's team won the [[1966 FIFA World Cup|1966 World Cup]] as hosts. Chastain acknowledged and congratulated Kelly, saying it put "a big smile on my face" and jokingly telling her to "enjoy the free rounds of pints and dinners for the rest of [her] life" from England fans.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-08-01 |title='I see you': Brandi Chastain congratulates Chloe Kelly following goal celebration |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/women/chloe-kelly-brandi-chastain-euro-2022-england-b2135429.html |last=Javed |first=Saman |access-date=2022-08-01 |website=The Independent |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://news.sky.com/story/euro-2022-brandi-chastain-congratulates-chloe-kelly-over-goal-celebration-and-huge-win-for-lionesses-12663390|title=Euro 2022: 'I see you': Brandi Chastain congratulates Chloe Kelly as Lionesses' star copies iconic sports bra celebration|publisher=[[Sky News]]|date=1 August 2022|access-date=1 August 2022|last=Osborne|first=Samuel}}</ref> Chastain and Kelly later also swapped shirts after the United States' friendly against England at Wembley that October.<ref>{{Cite tweet|number=1578496225686364160|user=USWNT|title=Game recognizes Game. @BrandiChastain π€ @Chloe_Kelly98|date=2022-10-07|author=United States Women's National Team|author-link=United States women's national soccer team}}</ref><ref>{{Cite tweet|number=1578499391509344256|user=Lionesses|title=Iconic goals.
