The women’s game is vibing all over the world – and boy do we need it!

Regardless of where you are, you’ve probably been enjoying a women’s soccer tournament. Women’s football is on display in places like the USA, England, Ireland, Spain, Africa, Mexico, Asia – just to name a few.

On this episode, we take a spin around the world to check in on everything from the inaugural Arnold Clark Cup Competition in England to the Concacaf W championships to the Algarve Cup, SheBelieves, and more!

And searching for those good vibes we need so desperately in today’s crazy world. We find them at the USWNT camp with head coach Vlatko Andonovski and young stars Sophia Smith and Emily Fox.

Plus, we sneak into a few California training camps (the perfect place to find those good vibrations!), as we hear from San Diego Wave FC forward Alex Morgan and head coach Casey Stoney. Then we head north to LA to catch up with Angel City defender Ali Riley and head coach Freya Coombe.
