The gangs all back together again! Alexi Lalas and David Mosse have returned from their travels and are in the studio to talk soccer abroad and stateside. The Champions League final is set for this Saturday, an epic battle between Dortmund and Real Madrid. Also in Europe, the coaching carousel continues. Thiago Motto, Paulo Fonseca, Hansi Flick, and Vincent Kompany are heading to new clubs next season. Back stateside, the Columbus Crew travel to Mexico this weekend for the CONCACAF Champions Cup final, with a chance to book their ticket to the 2025 FIFA Men’s Club World Cup. (6:09)
The guys then kick it over to US Soccer, where Alexi shares his thoughts on the USMNT Copa America roster. They also chat about the newly released Olympic roster. And Emma Hayes is in Colorado, taking charge ahead of USWNT friendlies against South Korea. (42:28)
To wrap the show, Alexi and Mosse answer a couple of questions in #AskAlexi, including the possibility of getting a face tattoo to guarantee a USMNT World Cup victory and thoughts on Tim Weah joining ownership with a non-MLS professional team. Alexi recaps his travels in Germany and shares a few fun pictures as well. (60:37)

Will the Columbus Crew book their ticket to the 2025 FIFA Men's Club World Cup?
MLS needs more CCC success more than anything else atm
Sorry BS. If a team is marketing Messi and he doesn't show up because "reasons" they have a right to be angry because you jacked up the prices to see him play. This isn't "buyer beware". The "buyer beware" only kicks in if Messi is injured. If you don't want to take the risk, don't market the match as if Messi is playing.
Arteta, maresca and torrrent are the only ones who are under the pep coaching tree. Why does pep get credit for xabi Alonso and kompany only for the face that they played for him. They played under different managers as well.
For the messi topic. It’s ridiculous they’re jacking up the prices for it. They didn’t do that in La Liga when he was at Barcelona. Messi and friends should be playing if they’re healthy. When all of the company’s marketing dollars are going to Messi, and only talking about Messi, making MLS Messi League Soccer, he should be playing every game if he’s healthy. When a sports league goes overboard on player marketing or makes it a player’s league, they go to games to see players, not teams. That’s why people are turned off by the nba is due to “load management” If they’re that concerned about travel, they should only play home games and make people want to come to Miami to make it even more of a destination.
I trust in Christian Pulisic alot at the next tournaments Dear Alexi, he has so great potential to play on every positions.🥰😍🤗🙏
