The 1999 Women's World Cup transformed Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, and the National Team into celebrities overnight.

But mismanagement and tension with the U.S. Soccer Federation put the league's future in jeopardy. This is the story about how the stars of the '99 World Cup Team built a league from scratch and fought to keep it alive.
