Summary

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse, ahead of the 2024 MLS season, analyze the betting odds for MLS Cup Champions and pick a few of their favorites. (12:29) Across the pond, Americans were scoring at will with Ricardo Pepi, Taylor Booth, Haji Wright, all finding the back of the net. We also had two HUGE results in Germany and Spain as Bayer Leverkusen & Real Madrid planted their flags at the top of the table. The guys also ask this timely question... How would the USMNT fare in the Africa Cup of Nations & the Asian Cup? (27:07) In #AskAlexi, the guys answer questions on the implications of blue cards & dream USMNT matchups building up to the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup. To wrap the podcast, Alexi dives into the USL Super League joining NWSL on tier one of the women's soccer pyramid. (58:39) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
