" The U.S. women's soccer team hasn't had a crossover superstar since Mia, Brandi and Julie retired, but the team's latest scoring sensation is on the verge of a major breakthrough. Abby Wambach - who came of age at the 2004 Olympics, scoring the gold-medal game-winning goal - is looking for the 100th score of her international career. Only eight other women have ever reached that milestone. Wambach's next chance comes against Brazil - the team that humiliated the Americans in the semifinals of the 2007 Women's World Cup - this Sunday in Commerce City, Colorado (July 13, 4 pm/ET, ESPN). If she's held scoreless in that game, she gets another chance on Wednesday, also against Brazil, in San Diego (July 16, 10 pm/ET, Fox Soccer Channel)
