Summary

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse react to Mauricio Pochettino’s first press conference as the head coach of the USMNT. The excitement is high for Pochettino to get to work with the USMNT squad, as he works to restore belief for the team, fans, and federation. This week on the player's side, Christian Pulisic continues to make big contributions for AC Milan with a goal and assist against Venezia. He remains perfect in penalty kicks for country and club. Tim Weah also made his return to the field with Juventus. Weah and McKennie are set to face American teammates Tillman and Pepi with PSV in the UEFA Champions League. Another big return came in the MLS, as Messi got his first start with Inter Miami since June 1st. Messi recorded 3 goal contributions in the win over Philadelphia Union. (5:17) To wrap the show, Alexi and Mosse answer a few questions on player injuries and the trend of USMNT players going to Europe rather than prioritizing consistent minutes in MLS. The guys also discuss Alexi’s plans for Juego de Leyendas in Monterrey. (44:44) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
