MLS and USMNT chat! Hugo Lloris’ LAFC salary, MLS teams shopping in Ligue 2, 2026 World Cup lineup & much more

Taylor, Joe, and Gass are here to answer your MLS and USMNT questions! You can find the full list that we tackled down below:

1) Do MLS roster rules still apply to players who are in the league on loan?

2) How are LAFC paying Hugo Lloris such a low salary?

3) Of the players who started for USMNT at the 2022 World Cup, who do we think will be replaced in the starting lineup in the 2026 World Cup and by whom?

4) Which Americans aren’t in the current January camp, but should be?

5) Is Ligue 2 becoming a good place to recruit MLS talent? What other leagues could be hotspots for savvy MLS teams?

6) How would we feel about Gio Reyna pulling a Landon Donovan and playing in MLS during the prime of his career?

7) Which MLS teams that missed the playoffs last year are we most optimistic about this year?
