UEFA Nations League preview, could Pochettino go to Man United, and MLS Decision Day recap

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a LIVE episode of State of the Union! We begin the show looking ahead to this week’s UEFA Nations League action as we approach the end of this current round in the competition. Matchday 5 is headlined by Italy hosting France and England hosting Croatia and will also see Czechia take on Spain and Türkiye meet Belgium. We then recap the biggest matches from Europe this weekend including Barcelona toppling Atletico Madrid 2-1 on the road and Manchester United coming back from down two goals TWICE in a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa. Christian Pulisic stayed hot, scoring yet again in Milan’s win over Genoa and Gio Reyna found the back of the net but went down with an injury that saw him replaced with Jack McGlynn on the coming USA roster. Next, we wrap up all the action from Decision Day in MLS. Nashville set a plethora of records after a win over Cincinnati, including the single season MLS points record. Cavan Sullivan bagged a brace, Lionel Messi became the first ever back-to-back MLS Golden Boot winner and RSL eliminated the Galaxy, beating LA 2-1. In #AskAlexi, we discuss how the USMNT can take the next step on the global stage and in One for the Road, Alexi and Mosse walk us through the chaos in the Argentinian title race.
