Summary

The guys then dive into soccer across the pond where Arsenal and Manchester City continue to roll on. We also cover La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Serie A fixtures. In our #AskAlexi segment, we debate what constitutes a successful USMNT outing in Qatar. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
