    Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union!

After, Alexi and Mosse break down Flo Balogun scoring for Monaco again, Christian Pulisic not scoring for Milan again, Bayern winning the Bundesliga again, and Arsenal potentially bottling the Premier League again. In #AskAlexi, we plug Alexi’s most recent big screen cameo and debate a potential surprise addition to the USA’s World Cup GK corps.

    Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! The show starts with the breaking news that U.S. Soccer Sporting Director Matt Crocker is leaving his current post to move to work with the Saudi Arabian football federation. Alexi and Mosse break down the implications of this as we rapidly approach the World Cup before moving on to U.S. Abroad where Flo Balogun and Ricardo Pepi found the back of the net for Monaco and PSV. Weston McKennie was suspended due to yellow card accumulation and Christian Pulisic’s scoring drought reached 16 games for club and country. Next, Alexi and Mosse preview the midweek quarterfinals in both the Champions League where Real Madrid and Barcelona are looking for 2nd leg turnarounds and the CONCACAF Champions Cup where LAFC is the only MLS side to take a lead into the 2nd leg. The pair roundup the weekend action from MLS before getting into the most difficult groups in the coming World Cup in #AskAlexi.

    LIVE U.S. vs Portugal Reaction, FIFA World Cup field is set, Italy SHOCKED

    Alexi Lalas, David Mosse and Rob Stone are back with a new LIVE episode of State of the Union! We break down another disappointing USA loss in the buildup to the World Cup, this time a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Portugal. The trio discuss the changes to the starting XI made by Mauricio Pochettino and whether we are too close to the World Cup to be tinkering with the team’s tactics. Additionally, with Christian Pulisic being in an extended scoring slump for both club and country, the guys ask what his role within the team is and how the squad and Pochettino can get the best out of him. Finally, we ask the question: has this window changed our minds about the U.S.’s prospects in the World Cup. Can they still make a deep run? After a thorough USA discussion, Alexi, Mosse, and Rob react to the full World Cup bracket and break down the final day of qualifying that saw Türkiye book their place in the USA’s group and Italy failing to qualify AGAIN. All of that and much more in the newest episode of State of the Union.Presented by Zillow #Zillow (0:00) Intro(3:10) U.S. falls to Portugal 2-0(9:41) The Great Keeper Debate: Freese vs Turner(17:32) Are we worried about Pulisic?(22:05) Too Late to Tinker for Pochettino?(37:18) UEFA World Cup Playoffs: Italy falls yet again(48:27) FIFA World Cup Playoffs: Sorry Jamaica(56:28) Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Argentina Friendlies Learn more about your ad choices.

    Reyna vs Luna, Rating U.S. World Cup jerseys, Berhalter > Pulisic?

    Alexi Lalas and David Moss are back with a new episode of State of the Union! In today’s episode, the pair break down the USA dropping its new Stars and Stripes jerseys that will feature in this summer’s World Cup. Will they go down as all-time classics? Alexi says their legacy will be determined by how the teams play in them. Afterwards, Alexi and Mosse bounce around Europe, touching on Folarin Balogun scoring AGAIN for Monaco, Tanner Tessmann getting a start at center back for Lyon, and Malik Tillman and Leverkusen getting a draw vs Bayern. We then get some injury updates on Tyler Adams and Sergiño Dest and whether or not their current injuries will keep them out of World Cup action. We then hit on MLS where Sebastian Berhalter and Vancouver gave James Rodriguez and Minnesota a rude welcome to MLS, Josh Sargent made his league debut, and Diego Luna finally returned from injury. In #AskAlexi, we ponder who should actually be taking set pieces for the USA and in One For The Road, Alexi gives his power rankings of the top 10 fan bases in the World Cup.
