Club vs. Country: Pulisic’s injury sparks debate & is Harry Kane the best in the world?

from Alexi Lalas’ State of the Union Podcast · host FOX Sports

It was a wild weekend across Europe! AC Milan climb back to the top of Serie A as Rafael Leão breaks his drought against Fiorentina — but all eyes are on the club vs. country debate after news that Christian Pulisic will miss action until after the next international break with a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, Como stunned Juventus 2-0, with Weston McKennie coming off of the bench. We ask Stu Holden: Is McKennie really the best midfielder in USMNT history? In the Eredivisie, Ricardo Pepi makes his return for PSV, Folarin Balogun keeps scoring in Ligue 1, and Harry Kane puts on another masterclass in Germany — sparking the question: should he be in the “best in the world” conversation? Back home, the MLS Cup Playoff field is set! Wild Card Wednesday looms, and every matchup is dripping with drama. Plus, Stu and Mosse dive into U.S. Soccer’s push to modernize college soccer and revive its role in player development. 📞 Got questions? Call (657) 549-2297 or use #AskAlexi to join the show.
