Lilly made her debut for the United States women's national soccer team in 1987, when she was still attending high school. During her international career, she surpassed the previous women's world record of 151 caps, held by Norway's Heidi Støre, on 21 May 1998. On 30 January 1999, she surpassed what was then the men's record of 164 caps, held by Adnan Al-Talyani of the United Arab Emirates.

Lilly has participated in the 1991, 1995, 1999, 2003, and 2007 editions of the FIFA Women's World Cup. She is a two-time World Cup champion, winning in 1991 and 1999. When she played against North Korea on 11 September 2007 in the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, she became the first woman (and only the third player overall) to participate in five different World Cup Finals; by scoring a goal against England on 22 September 2007, she became the oldest woman to score in the World Cup.

Lilly has also competed in the 1996, 2000, and 2004 editions of the Olympic Games. She won a Gold medal in 1996 and 2004, and a Silver medal in 2000. She missed the 2008 Summer Olympics due to the birth of her child.
Unlike several of her longtime teammates (among them Joy Fawcett, Julie Foudy, and Mia Hamm), she did not retire after the team's "farewell tour" of the United States, which finished on 8 December 2004.

On 18 January 2006, Lilly made her 300th international appearance in a game against Norway, a world record for both men and women (in the same match, she equaled Michelle Akers for second place on the team's all-time goal scoring list with 105). Lilly was named as a finalist for the 2006 FIFA Women's World Player of the Year. She finished second in the voting to Brazil's Marta.

sharon anyos

5'3" junior welterweight Sharon "Wild Thing" Anyos from Australia is a boxer, kickboxer and karate competitor. Born on 13 October 1970, she began her love affair with the fight game as a "karate kid". Sharon entered her first tournament when she was six years old, and competed in non-contact karate until she was sixteen.

She entered the Australian Koshiki Full Contact Titles in 1986 and won the Australian Women's Title. In 1989 she participated in the Brogoli Championships in Hawaii, and took second place Champion of Champions, second place in Black Belt Fighting and first place in Black Belt Forms. In 1989 she took fourth place in Black Belt Fighting at the Kobota World Cup in Los Angeles.

Winning the Australian Koshiki Full Contact Karate title sparked Sharon's interest in kickboxing and Muay Thai, and in 1989 she won the WAKO Australian Kickboxing Lightweight title with wins over Nadine McDonald and Narelle Rockall. In 1991 she fought to draws with Songul Oruc and Stephanie Curtiss in WKO action, and in 1992 she again defeated Narelle Rockall in WAKO action.

A successful defense of this title against Merritt in 1996 was followed in 1997 by a TKO of Laura Skinner at 0:10 of the second round in a Muay Thai bout, and a unanimous decision over Holly Ferneley in a kickboxing bout.

In her pro boxing debut, Sharon (126 lb) won the ANBF Women's Junior Lightweight Title by a second-round TKO over Cathy Hawkins (126 lb) on July 4, 1998 at Carrara Basketball Stadium. This was Australia's first ever sanctioned women's boxing bout.
