With LAFC co-owner Larry Berg being appointed the next commissioner of the MLS, major changes could be on the way for the soccer landscape in the USA. With an emphasis for growth after the World Cup, could we be seeing roster regulations pulled back, allowing MLS clubs freer spending powers and clearer direction for the league to move forward.

Pablo Maurer, reporter for The Guardian, and MLS and U.S. Soccer insider, joins Herculez Gomez to discuss what he expects from the new commissioner and the necessary changes for the league. Is it time for MLS to stop prioritizing expansion and instead focus on upgrading the product on the field? Additionally, Herc and Pablo delve into the legacy of the 2026 World Cup in the USA. Did it actually grow the sport in America, or was it a tournament geared towards catering to the 1%?

Later on the Vamos Hotline presented by Verizon, Herc dives into the potential transfer of Real Salt Lake talent Zavier Gozo to Premier League club Crystal Palace. Is this the perfect spot for Gozo to continue his development and make himself a key piece for the USMNT’s 2030 World Cup squad?
