About
Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! In today’s show, the pair reacts to the WILD Derby D’Italia between Inter Milan and Juventus that saw Inter prevail despite Weston McKennie's two assists. Alexi and Mosse then break down Patrick Agyemang and Haji Wright banging in goals in the Championship, Harry Kane hitting 500 career goals for club and country, and the close title races all around Europe! In #AskAlexi, the duo are posed the questions of whether or not Lionel Messi would succeed in the Premier League, and if the USA should give Mauricio Pochettino an extension BEFORE the World Cup. To wrap things up in One For The Road, Alexi and Mosse discuss the USA missing out on a dual national.
