Megan Rapinoe talks to NWSL prodigy Claire Hutton, who joined the league at age 17 and made her debut with the National Team last year. Claire talks about the difficult decision to skip college to go pro, the surprising way she found out she made the national team, and what she did as a younger kid that prepared her to go pro so young.
In other soccer news, Megan makes the case for Gotham FC to move to New York City, and takes a look at what the Americanization of the World Cup has looked like so far. And Megan explains why she’s not so stoked about the World Cup’s first-ever halftime show, even though it’ll feature Madonna, Shakira and BTS.
