Summary
Flo, Rachel and Chloe are off to Hollywood! Sort of. Today we're joined by Angel City FC's Freya Coombe, the coach of Los Angeles' newest team, to discuss her new role and the differences she's noticed since moving to the U.S. from Reading a few years ago.
Elsewhere, after an unprecedented week for Chelsea that saw speculation and questions around the future of the women's squad, we look into what the team represents and the decisions women's football is currently facing. There's also the small matter of the FA Cup quarter-finals to look ahead to!
