Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! In this episode, Alexi and Mosse break down the USMNT’s DOMINANT 5-1 win over Uruguay and some fiery comments made by manager Mauricio Pochettino in the buildup to the match. We ask such questions as where does this big win leave the USMNT going into the new year, what players stood out the most, and should our “regular” starters be worried? Around the globe, 42 of the 48 teams for next summer’s World Cup are set and Alexi and Mosse react to some major wins by Erling Haaland and Norway, Ireland and Scotland plus major drama in CONCACAF. In #AskAlexi, the USMNT’s potential geographic path to the World Cup final is discussed and in One for the Road, Alexi recounts his trip to Tampa to watch the USMNT run rampant on Uruguay.
