Ballsy, Gutsy, Golden: What U.S. Hockey Just Taught U.S. Soccer

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! The pair discuss both Folarin Balogun and Ricardo Pepi finding the back of the net this weekend for Monaco and PSV, Tyler Adams making his long-awaited return for Bournemouth, and the struggles continuing for Juventus and AC Milan. They then come back stateside where MLS began its 31st season with a bang, a huge meeting between LAFC and Inter Miami at the LA Coliseum in front over 75K fans that the Black and Gold ran away with 3-0. Michael Bradley’s tenure as NYRB manager got off to a strong start, while Matt Turner’s New England Revolution career started with a 4-1 loss to Nashville. In #AskAlexi, the question is posed whether or not the USA will produce multiple world class soccer players and in One for the Road, Alexi wonders what US Soccer can learn from the gold medal winning US hockey teams.
