On a new episode of State of the Union, Alexi Lalas and David Mosse dive into a big weekend of topics and touch on Pulisic’s winner in the Derby della Madonnina, Malik Tillman’s Bundesliga brilliance, and Tim Weah's Ligue 1 goalazo. Over in England, Chris Richards’ manager can’t seem to decide if the U.S. plays him too much—or not enough—and Jedi Robinson’s absence lingers. We hit the MLS Cup Playoffs where Messi made more history, NYCFC snuck past Philly, and Vancouver outlasted LAFC in a wild match. In #AskAlexi we field questions including “who is the real leader for the USMNT?” And in One For The Road, we ponder a question about next summer's World Cup: why isn't Washington, D.C. a host city?
