Big game Pulisic, weekend recap & Nashville’s record breaking season

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a LIVE episode of State of the Union! We begin the show recapping Christian Pulisic’s big weekend for Milan. After officially signing a contract extension through the 2031 season, he opened up the Milan Derby with a goal in the 4th minute. With another international window coming up in a couple weeks, the guys discuss what role they expect Pulisic to have with the USMNT going forward. Next, we go through some of the other big matches in Europe, including Juventus’ win over Napoli that saw Weston McKennie exit at halftime with a minor injury, Arsenal’s win over Liverpool, Chelsea putting Manchester United even further in the mud, Bayern and Dortmund drawing in a fantastic Klassiker, and both Sebastian Berhalter and Folarin Balogun getting on the scoresheet for Middlesbrough and Monaco. We then look forward to the biggest Champions League matches of the week, highlighted by Atletico Madrid hosting Bayern Munich. In #AskAlexi, they guys discuss the format of the U-15 World Cup and the coming MLS schedule changes and in One for the Road, Alexi goes deep on Erik Ten Hag’s recent comments about Cristiano Ronaldo.
