Could Mo Salah Make His Way to MLS? + NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani on Why FIFA Has a World Cup Pricing Problem

Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros react to Mohamed Salah’s rumored potential move to San Diego FC. Would Mo Salah be the biggest signing in MLS history? And why might San Diego FC’s ownership convince him to choose MLS over Saudi Arabia?

Next, Christian and Alexis chat on the subway with New York City’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. They talk all things soccer, including why Zohran is pushing back against FIFA over skyrocketing ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup. They also discuss the USMNT’s World Cup group and his biggest soccer memories as a fan.

Later, the boys break down an impressive Champions League week for American players. Folarin Balogun scores in his third consecutive Champions League match, and Weston McKennie shines against Pafos FC for Juventus. Are the USMNT’s key figures peaking at the right time?
