The World Cup is captivating to watch not just for the sports element, but also for the profound global tensions that it highlights. From fraught matches between former colonial powers and the nations they once colonized, to heavy questions of race, corruption and the treatment of international teams by foreign governments, the games tell a layered geopolitical story. At the same time, fandom also unites. Ayman Mohyeldin is a MS NOW host and avid soccer fan. He joins Chris Hayes to discuss game highs and lows, pay to play systems, his personal and familial soccer experience and more. Note that this conversation was recorded on July 8th, 2026.
