About this episode
This week, Stu Holden and John Strong join us as we recap all the Champions League action featuring USMNT stars: Yunus Musah delivers the game-winning assist for Atalanta, Tim Weah’s Marseille crush Ajax, Folarin Balogun’s Monaco draw Man City, and Weston McKennie battles in Juventus’ 2-2 thriller. We’ve also got updates on Ricardo Pepi and Sergiño Dest’s injuries. Plus, the Baby Nats dominate the U-20 World Cup with a record-setting 9-1 win, while Gregg Berhalter’s Chicago Fire stun Inter Miami in a wild MLS playoff-clincher. We close with thoughts on the USMNT back-three vs back-four debate ahead of October friendlies vs Ecuador and Australia. Make sure to join the conversation with #AskAlexi!
