  • Good bye

    Lalas is a right-wing, authoritarian loving maga booster. He should be ashamed of himself for supporting policies that do enormous damage to his former fans.

  • Alexis is a Trump Supporter

    Will boycott this channel. Alexis made it very apparent that he supports Trump when he said that Trump cares a bout the World Cup coming to USA. Trump doesn’t know what soccer is. Someone told him it will bring in lots of money. We’ll see how many European, Canadian and Mexican fans show up.

  • Soccer First

    Always enjoyed the pod however, Alexi’s vocal support of the current administration is not something I can endorse. He has chosen to put politics above soccer, so this pod is no longer what I will choose to listen to. Show empathy and love everyone.

Q: If MLS goes to the August-May schedule, when would the season before that happen?
The MLS calendar change discussions have been postponed, and while there were ideas to align with the World Cup in 2026, it seems the league is still figuring out practicalities and planning for the earliest switch to potentially be in 2027.

Q: What do you think about Noah Allen choosing to play for Greece instead of the US Men's National Team?
Noah Allen, a defender for Inter Miami, chose to represent Greece due to personal ties and his pathway to professional play. His decision reflects a deeper connection to heritage rather than mere opportunism.
Champions League semis set, Gio Reyna linked to Scotland and MLS, Does the USMNT have a leader?
Q: What types of venues should the US national team be playing in right now for the Build Up to the World Cup?

Sargent, Aaronson, & Cardoso deliver, Who did USMNT miss most in CONCACAF Nations League?
Q: Who do you choose as the penalty takers and in what order?
Alexi and Mosse discuss the importance of selecting mentally strong players for penalties and agree on a mix of players, suggesting Christian Pulisic should shoot first to apply pressure.

Q: Do you think that Eurosnobs have made this problem culturally, and now they have to sit in their own bed, the bed of which they made?
Alexi said that the idea that playing in Europe makes you better is a fallacy and stressed that every player, no matter their club, should be considered for the national team.
