About
Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! In today’s show, the pair break down all the action from a thrilling UCL semifinal first leg that saw PSG and Bayern put up nine combined goals and Arsenal and Atletico both receive penalties. Alexi and Mosse react to Christian Pulisic’s manager at AC Milan calling him “sensitive” and what his current run of poor form says about him as a player. In #AskAlexi, the pair discuss the pros and cons of the US youth soccer system and then debate what the US will have to do in the World Cup to reach the quarterfinals and beyond. Finally, in One for the Road, Alexi and Mosse react to the newly announced yellow and red card rules that will be implemented in this summer’s World Cup.
