## Resource

Maurice Edu joins Chad Ochocinco and Raheemovic to break down what success actually looks like for the USMNT at the 2026 World Cup on home soil. Group D, the Paraguay opener at SoFi, the Belgium and Portugal wake-up calls, and whether a quarterfinal run is enough to shift soccer culture in America. Mo sets the bar at semifinal. Chad's not sure we get out of the group. Hit play and pick your side.Plus, Mo brings the receipts. He talks his 2010 World Cup run in South Africa with the USMNT and the 86th-minute Slovenia goal that got chalked off by the ref. He gets into what it meant having his mom and brother in the stands watching him wear the crest. He looks back on his MLS Rookie of the Year campaign as the #1 overall pick with Toronto FC. And he breaks down his Rangers years in the Scottish Premiership: a 93rd-minute Old Firm derby winner, three league titles, Champions League nights at Old Trafford, and a front-row seat to the club's financial collapse.
