Summary

Champions League, MLS Playoffs, and USWNT... oh my. What a week of soccer already with plenty left on the schedule. Alexi Lalas and David Mosse begin with MLS and go game by game to pick winners in the opening round. Will Cincinnati get the upset? Who will take the LA vs Nashville match? On the Champions League front, Kylian Mbappé and PSG are surrounded by rumors, Juventus takes a bad loss, Barca and Inter play in an instant classic, and Brugge moves on for the first time. The guys then look forward to a massive Barcelona vs. Real Madrid tilt this weekend along with a must-win match for Liverpool vs. Manchester City.  In our #AskAlexi segment, the guys address Gregg Berhalter potentially losing the USMNT roster and the state of the striker position. We then wrap up the show by addressing the back-to-back losses by the USWNT. Time to hit the panic button?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
