World Cup Power Rankings, Alex Morgan's Advice for Pulisic & USMNT Stars on Home World Cup Pressure

Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros unveil their official World Cup Power Rankings! Which nations make the top 15 heading into the tournament? Is the USMNT among the world's elite, or do they still have work to do? The guys debate the biggest contenders, surprise inclusions, notable omissions, and ultimately settle on their consensus favorite to lift the trophy.

Then, USWNT icon and World Cup champion Alex Morgan joins the show for an insightful conversation about retirement, motherhood, and her evolving life away from the pitch. Alex reflects on her legendary career and shares the advice she'd give Christian Pulisic as he prepares to carry the expectations of a nation at a home World Cup.

Later, USMNT defender Miles Robinson talks about the pressure and privilege of representing the United States on soccer's biggest stage, while Tim Weah and Mark McKenzie discuss what it means to have the World Cup coming to their home city of New York. They also explain why they chose to publicly address concerns surrounding the tournament's soaring ticket prices and what they hope fans take away from the conversation.
