On this episode of The World’s GAM there's overreactions to the week that was in MLS, but not before a quick World Cup heat check. Are you excited about the World Cup? Do you have tickets? Are you as excited as you thought you'd be? Later on it's a simple question: who is the next manager fired? Would Ernst Tanner being in charge of Philly change that? Is he still in charge despite the suspension? And finally, what to watch this weekend! Timestamps:

CONCACAF Champions League (it'll always be League to us) is already here and what better time to preview the tournament!? But before CCL there's plenty of MLS news around the league, starting in Minnesota where ICE's military action in the Twin Cities is having a direct impact on their ability to recruit players. Despite that, they still landed James Rodriguez of all players before the World Cup! Vancouver is also in the news this week for off the field activities, this time maybe looking for a way out of the city? Public negotiations are tense as it's not clear what the path forward is for the Canadian team. Then it's transfer stories, failed medicals and Dennis Bouanga, that keep the love of MLS nice and spicy. Part Two is all a look at CONCACAF Champions League with predicting who will go furthest, who will have a tough time, and which non-Miami team has a shot at this thing.

(16:16) - Minnesota United and the Battle for the Twin Cities

(40:06) - Vancouver may be on the Move!?

The Season is quickly approaching so in the second episode of 2026, it's a look at odd decisions being made, particularly regarding the San Jose Earthquakes and their recent roster moves. A little conspiracy talk surrounding team management and the implications of certain player transfers. Then a little news around the potential for MLS teams to participate in the prestigious Copa Libertadores. We can't forget the incredibly exciting and not at all odd cultural impact of Walmart's sponsorship with MLS's Saturday programing and of course the naming conventions of the new USL Premier.
