6/12/26 - World Cup Opens, Mahomes' $500M Deal, Sorsby Fallout, Wimbledon Prize Pool
Q: So, Margaret, the US. Men's National Team enters the World Cup as the 17th best playing team in the world. Yet many are saying this is the strongest and deepest squad the US has ever fielded. How deep does the US have to go in this tournament for this all to be considered a success here?
Margaret explains that success hinges on advancing beyond the group stage, with a realistic benchmark of reaching the Round of 16; progressing further would be ideal but depends on matchups and the expanded field.
A World Cup Conversation with US Soccer Legends Landon Donovan & Tim Howard
Q: What would you consider a successful World Cup for the US team beyond just the trophy?
A successful World Cup would involve growing the sport's fanbase, generating lasting enthusiasm among millions of new soccer fans, and showcasing the league and country in a way that enhances MLS's appeal and development.
A World Cup Conversation with US Soccer Legends Landon Donovan & Tim Howard
Q: Who's going to be the next big MLS name who captures global attention like Messi did?
The guests discussed a combination of high-profile signings and the league's ability to attract world-class talents who can elevate MLS and broaden its appeal, while noting the need for the league to stand on its own.
A World Cup Conversation with US Soccer Legends Landon Donovan & Tim Howard
Q: If you had to name one major narrative surrounding the US men's national team heading into the World Cup, what would it be?
The narrative is under scrutiny and part of their hot takes, but the core is staying healthy, performing well, and giving themselves a chance to compete against the big teams, with magical moments potentially galvanizing the country.
A Conversation with USWNT Alum Ashlyn Harris on Her Roku Documentary, NWSL Growth, World Cup Ticket Prices, and Life After Soccer
Q: What are your thoughts on World Cup ticket prices and access for fans?
Ticket prices have become greed-driven, and it's important to make the sport accessible so more fans can participate, sharing football's universal joy.
