Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are here with a brand-new episode of State of the Union. Alexi and Mosse start by answering some burning questions about the upcoming USMNT window: Without star man Christian Pulisic, who is going to step up and inspire the team? Are we going to experiment with two strikers up top? What is the backline going to look like? Make sure you tune into our live show on Saturday 11/15 after the USMNT plays Paraguay for a full break down. Around the world, qualifying for the World Cup is coming to an end. UEFA, CAF, AFC and CONCACAF will all see teams book their tickets for next summer’s tournament and you can catch a UEFA double header this Sunday 11/16 on FS1. In #AskAlexi, we get an all-time voicemail about Pochettino, and in One for the Road, Alexi and Mosse discuss the potential schedule changes coming to MLS.
