For fans of the U.S. women's national soccer team, Abby Wambach doesn't need any introduction. The 28-year-old forward from Rochester, N.Y., has scored an astounding 99 goals in 126 international games.

Wambach will also be one of the marquee faces as Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) kicks off its inaugural season this weekend, six years after the previous women's pro league in America, the WUSA, folded in 2003. Earlier this week, Wambach took time out of her busy training schedule -- she's still recovering from a broken leg suffered before last summer's Beijing Olympics -- to talk to FanHouse about the WPS on the eve of its curtain raiser.

The full interview is after the jump.
