Jorge Ruvalcaba on CHOOSING Mexico over USMNT & Michael Bradley's Youth Movement

New York Red Bulls' new Designated Player and Mexican International Jorge Ruvalcaba sits down with our own Herc Gomez to discuss the dynamic squad Head Coach Michael Bradley has assembled this season, including breakout stars Adri Mehmeti and Julian Hall.

Jorge also details his shocking $6.5M transfer from Pumas UNAM in LigaMX to MLS and how he almost quit soccer before getting his big opportunity with the Mexican side.

Later, Herc and Ruvalcaba speak on the growing quality of MLS versus LigaMX and why Jorge felt compelled to chose the Mexican National Team over the USMNT.

We wrap up the show with the VAMOS Hotline presented by Verizon, as Herc takes a look at Paraguay's defensive strength, a key factor heading into the World Cup 2026.
