Description

As the women's World Cup gets underway in Australia and New Zealand this month, we trace the roots of one of the best players in U.S. Women's National Team history, Carla Overbeck, back to Richardson, Texas, and the Dallas Sting.

Overbeck was on the U.S. team that won the first women's World Cup in 1991 and a captain on the 1999 squad that elevated the sport to a new level in the United States.

We also hear from three current or former players on FC Dallas' club teams and from a coach with the Dallas Surf.
