Welcome to The Insiders, The Athletic FC’s new show digging into the off-pitch forces shaping the 2026 World Cup. Matt Slater and Adam Crafton unpack a World Cup draw that went from the surreal to the political, including surprise performances, a very prominent Gianni Infantino, and the growing influence of Donald Trump and his inner circle on football’s biggest event. Then, why this is set to be the most expensive World Cup ever. From the eye-watering cost of tickets and who can actually afford to go, to predictions about what happens next as prices rise and fans are squeezed out.

Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros react to Mohamed Salah’s rumored potential move to San Diego FC — and whether he’d be the biggest signing in MLS history. Then, they speak with New York City’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani about FIFA’s skyrocketing 2026 World Cup ticket prices. Finally, the boys break down a strong Champions League week for American players and assess whether key USMNT stars are peaking at the perfect time.

1990 World Cup winner and former USMNT head coach Jürgen Klinsmann joins Rog to break down the USMNT’s World Cup draw, explain how tournament football differs from friendlies, and defines what success should look like for the USMNT this summer.

We talk through the quite encouraging events of the first half of the week -- Pulisic's big man on campus brace off the bench, Wes's lovely gamewinner in CL, Balo's gamewinner and Pepi's continued propensity to put the ball in the back of the net. Then we get into Poch's media tour after the World Cup draw a little bit, what will happen if we beat Paraguay in that first game, and the MLS championship game a bit too.

A big night in the Champions League, but an even bigger night for the Official Martin Keown Fan Club here at the Football Ramble. Seriously though, it's gone too far. Pete, Jim and Luke pick over last night's action and crimes against commentary, plus Pete's incredibly well-received DJ sets in Topman. They then enter a surprisingly deep camel racing rabbit hole after Paul Pogba invests in a camel racing team. Are we fascinated? Yes. Do we think Graeme Souness' moustache should be transplanted onto one of the camels? Also yes.
