The World Cup is getting closer and this week the squad went head-to-head in the ultimate 7-a-side World Cup draft ๐Using a 2-3-1 formation, we drafted teams made up entirely of players heading to the 2026 World Cup to see who could build the BEST squad possible. But who would go #1 overall? It’s hard to argue who the best player in the world is right now, but Tom still had a tough decision to make with the first pick in the draft, and his choice might surprise you ๐คPlus, we debated one of the biggest World Cup roster decisions of all… should Brazil bring Neymar? ๐ง๐ทSpecial shoutout to Carl's Jr. for sponsoring today's video!

Who’s going to win the World Cup? We might know. We all know who won’t. This thing is hard to predict, but we have 48 teams and a bunch of ideas. Surely, there are some favorites: Spain, Argentina, France. But then there are some who are happy to be there. Our rondo guys tried to figure out where ALL 48(!) rank.

What does it actually take to win a World Cup? ๐
Every four years, the same countries seem to be in the mix while everyone else is left chasing. Is it just about having the best players, or is there something bigger behind why nations like Argentina, France, Brazil, and Germany always seem to compete for the biggest trophy in football? ๐
This week on The Rondo, we break down what separates World Cup winners from everyone else, from coaching and infrastructure to culture, tactics, and building the right roster ๐
Do you need one superstar like Messi or Mbappe, or is it more about having the perfect system and the right players around them? And can the USMNT ever build a squad capable of making a real World Cup run? ๐บ๐ธ

Is soccer becoming too American? ๐
With FIFA officially confirming the first-ever halftime show for the 2026 World Cup Final, the debate around the “Americanization” of football has only gotten louder. Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Phil Harvey are helping FIFA finalize the list of artists for the show, but the bigger question is whether moments like this are helping grow the game or taking away from what makes football different ๐ค
This week on The Rondo, we break down whether soccer is becoming too influenced by American sports culture, from celebrity owners and profit-first ownership groups to the way matchday experiences are changing around the world ๐
Are halftime shows, more ads, and American-style ownership actually bad for football, or are fans just too resistant to change?

This week, The Rondo boys breakdown how to beat billionaire soccer clubs with USMNT legend and strategic advisor to English League One club Lincoln City, Landon Donovan. Can small soccer clubs can truly compete against the massive financial power of big money European teams and elite English Premier League giants?

How good are the U.S. at men's soccer really? And will they ever be any better?It has long been assumed that if the United States got people to care just a little more about the beautiful game, then international glory is inevitable. But that all seems pretty far away - and it's a LOT to ask.Our rondo guys look at what elite footballing nations do, ask if the U.S. could EVER get there, and debate what success for the USMNT looks like in the long run.

Promotion and relegation is one of the biggest things missing from American soccer, but could that finally be changing?
On this episode, we break down whether promotion/relegation can actually work in the US, why it has become the standard around the world, how USL plans to implement it, and whether MLS would ever seriously consider joining in.
From the financial risks to the possible upside for clubs, players, and fans, we debate if pro/rel would bring more legitimacy and excitement to the American game or create even more instability.
Do you think promotion/relegation would work in the US?

What is a bottle? Many have accused Arsenal of ritually chucking away the Premier League for a few years now. But is that fair? Are they serial chokers limited by their own shortcomings? Or are they just unfortunate to be chased by a Man City juggernaut every year? Arsenal aren't the only ones to throw it away, either. Our guys have all experienced soccer trauma with their teams falling short over the years. Raheemovic, Corbin Mills and Tom Hindle get in to some personal trauma in a ragebait-y exploration of football's most overused term.

MLS season is underway, which means it's time for our Rondo guys to get excited about American soccer again. To be honest, they missed it quite a bit. So, to kick things off, we decided to ask one big fat question: Is MLS actually good? Sure, Lionel Messi plays here and teams are now valued at nearly $1.5 BILLION. But does anyone want to watch the product on the pitch? Should they care? And, most importantly, is this a RETIREMENT LEAGUE?Raheemovic, Corbin Mills, and Tom Hindle break down the league shortly after its 31st birthday as it moves from startup to major player in the soccer world.

The FIFPRO World 11 list dropped yesterday and social media went CRAZY after seeing players like Mo Salah and Raphinha NOT make it ๐
BUT unlike most awards, this list is actually voted on by the players themselves, so we took a look at every name that made the squad and rated each 1–10 on whether they deserved to be there … and if someone else SHOULD have been in over them ๐ฎ๐จ
