Published On: Thu Sep 26 2024
Description: Alexi Lalas and David Mosse breakdown the USMNT’s upcoming matches abroad, namely Christian Pulisic as he looks to continue his goal contribution streak. Has Pulisic reached “world class” status, or is there more he needs to accomplish first? Brenden Aaronson and Haji Wright are set to face off this weekend in the Championship, and Josh Sargent looks to get back on track after a month without a goal. It is confirmed that Kylian Mbappe will be out for the Madrid Derby on Sunday and he will likely miss more time on the field. Alexi and Mosse also talk MLS Cup contenders and dark horses. (5:53) To wrap the pod, the guys answer a few questions on explaining USMNT to non-soccer fans, expanding MLS to Buffalo, and youth development in America. (38:00) Learn more about your ad choices.
