They also talk about picking Portland up in their last four matches and making playoffs. Then, on the heels of her retirement announcement, Canadian legend and greatest goalscorer of all time Christine Sinclair joins the show to talk about her 25-year career, her choice to hang it up, and to tell a story about how Becky spurned her big time. Last up, a WSL update, a spooky question, and Becky and Sam decide... is it witch?

Football... over family? This week's Good Vibes reunites our captain Sammy with Lynn Williams who is on the brink of eclipsing the most assists title on top of her most goals title in the NWSL. Sam and Lynn catch up about the week's news in the league, like KC's decisive win over the Spirit, Trin's injury, and Houston finally getting a dub! Then, it's high time Lynn choose a WSL team to support, so the team decides the best way to do that is naturally to have ChatGPT describe the clubs and force Lynn to choose. The answers... will surprise you. They also address the family rift caused by Sam’s support of Man City in the face of future sis-in-law Sam Kerr… draaaaama! Last up, they talk their favorite sports movie and the U20 World Cup. As they say in the biz... vroom vroom!

Good Vibes on a Thursday! Sam and Lynn get together to look back at a big NWSL weekend that included an infamous "night night" from Trinity Rodman, a Portland slip and slide, and some surprising and unsettling comments from Houston's Diana Ordóñez. Then, they are joined by Sinead Farrelly, former Gotham FC and Ireland international, to look back on and celebrate her immense career. They discuss her comeback after six years of retirement, finding the mental fortitude to come back, and how it was all inspired by a one-time therapist. They also dig into how tough mental culture in soccer is, overcoming adversity, and what Sinead is hoping for in the future. The show finishes with your questions as always, and this time, it's freakin' fall flavored. Get the vibes going!
