The National Team: The Inside Story of the Women Who Changed Soccer (Caitlin Murray)
Chapter 13: "You Wouldn't Be on the Field If It Was Up to Me"
Murray documents the short-lived Women's Professional Soccer league, which struggled to sustain itself given the Great Recession, waning interest in women's soccer, and eccentric and unreliable ownership groups like Dan Borislow (magicJack).
Murray briefly writes about the USWNT's struggle to qualify for the 2011 World Cup, which required a home-and-away playoff against Italy after the team failed to earn direct qualification out of CONCACAF.
