Summary

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! Today, we discuss the utter CHAOS that was the AFCON final between Senegal and Morocco. Disallowed goals, controversial penalties, players leaving the pitch, a missed panenka, fights over towels and so much more went down in Senegal’s 1-0 victory. We go to England next to break down the latest in Josh Sargent’s transfer saga with Norwich City, both Haji Wright and Patrick Agyemang finding the back of the yet, and the potential of a Ricardo Pepi Premier League move. In #AskAlexi, we have a voicemail asking if the USL’s move to a pro/rel system will have a bigger impact than MLS changing its season calendar. Finally, in One for the Road, Alexi reacts to the rumors that Sporting Kansas City will be sold for $700M.
