USWNT enters new phase with World Cup squad now all together

As the U.S. prepares for its three final friendlies before heading to France, the vibe around the camp has changed

For the U.S. women’s national team, training this week, on the surface, has looked the same as it always has.

Players have gathered on the field, done some jogging, stretching, and warm-up activities, getting some touches on the ball before the session began in earnest.

But there is clearly a different vibe coursing through these 23 players, because they are now locked in as the group that will go to France next month and attempt to win a second straight World Cup.
