Richards & Aaronson injured, Messi drama & would Pep Guardiola take the USA job?

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

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! The injury bug for the USA continued this past weekend as both Chris Richards and Brenden Aaronson came down with knocks but thankfully neither look particularly serious. In better news for the Yanks, Christian Pulisic contributed an assist in Milan’s win, Antonee "Jedi" Robinson scored his first ever Premier League goal from the spot for Fulham, and Ricardo Pepi kept his record season going with another goal for PSV. Around the world of soccer, Neymar made the Brazil World Cup squad, Arsenal are one step closer to the Premier League title, Pep Guardiola will officially leave Manchester City after the season, José Mourinho is returning to Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso is heading to Stamford Bridge with Chelsea. In #AskAlexi, after much fanfare and commentary from our followers, Alexi and Mosse take another look at Alexi’s all-time USA World Cup starting XI and in One for the Road, there may be some trouble in paradise for Messi and Miami.Presented by Zillow #Zillow 0:00 -  Intro2:33 - Is Richard the valuable player for the USA?7:33 - Brenden Aaronson goes down with injury8:50 - Arsenal vs Manchester City title race down to final week10:56 Pep Guardiola leaves City, Xabi to Chelsea, José Mourinho to Madrid16:40 - Christian Pulisic bags assist, Weston McKennie's UCL bid takes hit25:37 - Zavier Gozo stays hot29:29 - Neymar makes Brazil roster36:15 - USMNT All-Time Best XI: Which historical player are you adding '26?43:56 - Messi vs the Inter Miami Fans Learn more about your ad choices.
