Alexi Lalas talks MLS All-Star Skills Challenge, the USA v Mexico gap, 1998 World Cup and more

We sit down with Alexi Lalas to talk about how we'd improve the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge and how he prepares for a broadcast.

Alexi also joins us in answering some listener questions:

1. If you could re-write history and manage a disappointing USMNT (e.g. 1998, 2006, 2018) which team would it be and what would you do differently?

2. What do you make of Zlatan's comments about MLS teams not spending money?

3. How did this seemingly giant gap between the USA and Mexico national teams arise?

4. What are those bumps on players backs?
