About this episode

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse discuss Pellegrino Matarazzo's historic win, player performances in various leagues, and the latest soccer news.

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! The guys begin with the Copa Del Rey final where Real Sociedad, managed by American Pellegrino Matarazzo, upset Atletico Madrid and in turn making Matarazzo the first ever American manager to win a trophy in one of Europe’s top 5 leagues. After, Alexi and Mosse break down Flo Balogun scoring for Monaco again, Christian Pulisic not scoring for Milan again, Bayern winning the Bundesliga again, and Arsenal potentially bottling the Premier League again. In #AskAlexi, we plug Alexi’s most recent big screen cameo and debate a potential surprise addition to the USA’s World Cup GK corps. In One for the Road, Alexi shouts out the running Lalases who partook in the Boston Marathon.Presented by Zillow #Zillow 0:00 Intro 3:28 US Abroad: Pelligrino Matterazzo makes history8:30 Does Matterazzo want to be the US National Team coach?10:24 Fox Sports FIFA World Cup Roundtables announcement13:51 Balogun extends his scoring record in League 115:04 PSG-Lyon - Tessmann & Co dent PSG title bid16:05 Pulisic’s scoring drought continues17:37 McKennie bags an assist against Bologna19:01 Haji Wright makes team of the year and…
