Why Brandi Chastain ranks #101 in Football
Brandi Chastain ranks 101st among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 169th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 92, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 895 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1988–2010 with 23 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1998, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 2, olympic gold medals 2, united states caps 192, united states goals 30.
Immediately ahead sits Ciro Immobile on 87.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Julie Ertz on 87.2. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
